First Three Months In Canada

First Three Months In Canada                                                                                                                      After landing in Toronto, renting a flat at Don Mills, and preparing our new flat with comfortable furniture, I decided to join a community centre to improve my english language and contact other newcomers in Canada. In a short time i made many friends from different places.We shared together our life in Canada and gained knowledges about many places in Toronto.                                              As a class we visited Toronto City Hall, Toronto Zoo, Roy Thomson Hall and Honest Ed's, where we enjoyed shopping .                                                                                                                                 Every day here, i learn something new and share my new life with my friends. I am looking forward to a successful future in Canada.

ROY THOMSON HALL

Last Monday I went to Roy Thomson Hall with my teacher and my colleagues of Community        Microskills Development Centre.                                                                                                                 It was a nice trip, starting at 10 am where we met all together at the underground station. We headed for downtown. It was cold and raining, but we enjoyed a nice trip down the most famous streets of Toronto downtown: also we took many pictures.We reached Roy Thomson Hall at 11.30 am: they gave us the programme. the concert started at 12 am. We enjoyed listening to the music performed by Hamilton Children's and High Park Choirs. This concert was made possible through the generous support of Edwards Charitable Foundation. The programme ended at 1 pm with a standing ovation from the audience.                                                                                                                                                      We were all happy as it was the first time to visit one of the most famous Halls of Toronto. Many thanks to our teacher who offered to us this nice trip to Toronto downtown, which helps us to build a better future.

A South Asian immigrant woman breaks tradition by driving a big 18-wheel truck. Gill came to Canada in 2000. Fifteen months after arriving in Canada, she got her license and bought a car. Gill challenged her cousin,passed the exam on the third time,and got a trucker's license. Gill drives the Toronto-Montreal route that takes six to seven hours, but in bad weather it takes up to twelve hour; she sleeps in the cab of the truck for five hours before she drives back to Toronto. Gill supports her family in  Punjab by sending money to them every month. Actually, Gill is a strong woman,and her family is proud of   her.
