“Take a stroll through Mount Pleasant Cemetery, an oft-overlooked gem of parkland, trails and historic grave sites in the middle of the city. Coming across the monuments of prominent Canadians, such as former prime minister William Lyon Mackenzie King, department store magnate Timothy Eaton and pianist Glenn Gould, is a reminder of the illustrious history of our great city.”

“Any time that I take a walk in High Park, I wonder why I don’t do it more often. Going there is such an easy way to escape from the busy city life to nature. From watching happy dogs playing and chasing each other to watching the variety of birds at different seasons, it is a place that fills me with joy.”
