Geography:  


Working with a partner, you are to select only 1 neighborhood from either the communities of Etobicoke, North York, York, Scarborough, Mid-town or Downtown Toronto, for example, Kingsway-Humber in Etobicoke.  Firstly, you map its boundaries - northern, southern, western, and eastern.  Secondly, you identify key landmarks within that neighborhood, for example, a major park, a major hospital, a major school, a major hotel, a major church, a major recreational centre, a major tourist attraction, a heritage site, a conservation area, a major river, a major highway, a cultural district within it, a major shopping, a major industrial plan etc. etc. (if any of these apply)

·        I disagree with…
i.e.
Being of European descent, I enjoy eating both processed meats such as prosciutto, sausage, or mortadella and red meats such as beef steak, veal cutlets and lamb. 
Over the years, I did hear that cured meats tend to be very high in salt and in a preservative called nitrates.  I have also heard that bbq-ing and charring your meats is carcinogenic; oven roasting is a healthier alternative. 
I also know that eating meat on a daily basis isn’t good; protein can be derived from a variety of legumes, nuts and seeds like beans or almonds.
I tend to stay away from deli meats and hot dogs since they are heavily processed, even though food companies use the words “natural ingredients” on their product labels.
I know that when I grill a piece of meat, it shouldn’t exceed the size of my palm – I never eat that little. 
I realize that wrapping everything in bacon, as many Food Network chefs do, shouldn’t be a daily routine.
I don’t think we know exactly where our meats come from or how the animal (cow, pig, lamb, chicken) was raised and fed.

I am surprised that it has taken all these decades to finally draw connections between the over-eating of meat and increasing cancer rates. etc. etc. etc.
