  I’ve been here for a week and this city seems to represent Canadian culture. Everywhere you walk you can see so many national historical sites. It’s a city that you read.

  I think it’s accurate that we’re considered a culture capital. There are so many large groups of everybody that come together from around the world.

  Maybe we don’t deserve to be world renowned for our culture but I think we have a good scene going on. I enjoy it.
