I can show you some previous videos we've done if you want me to send some over. Let me know if you're interested in seeing samples of our previous work.

• The scenery. Every corner of the province is a pleasure to drive through, especially in the autumn when the colors change.
• The mild weather in Ontario.
• We don't lack entertainment - if there's world-class sports, theatre, music, etc. Toronto has a scene for it all.

Housing costs are high; therefore, they have become the primary barrier to newcomers to Toronto. This pushes up the cost of living.

I like the walkability of downtown Vancouver and its surrounding neighbourhoods. I like the vegetation along the seawall, in the west end, and in pockets of the downtown core. I like the community of talented artists and creatives who liven up the city.

I would like to change the level of care our environment receives by promoting urban biodiversity, nature-based solutions, and community stewardship.
