Thoughts from our neighbours…
"I like the birds around here. I always catch something different here. Nice, quiet place. Good to visit."
"I focus on the park, and I really have appreciated, especially throughout COVID, the way they've kept the paths clear, giving me the opportunity for exercise and a mental break."
"We visit this park (Assiniboine Park) on a daily basis. It keeps us sane in the winter. We walk around it, we see all the nature, the deer, the birds, the squirrels. It's the best part of the city as far as we're concerned."
