How do we picture our communities? What is the focal service point or a major network for a community? This model of South Riverdale neighborhood in Toronto hand crafted by 35 young participants of the Ralph Thornton Community Centre helps answer these questions.
School is an obvious and one of the most typical community symbols in the children's eyes. Here is a school along with a school bus which shares the same road with a public transportation vehicle (Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) bus or a streetcar, I am guessing, given that the Center is located on Queen St. East).

The local radio station in Talkeetna. I ran over to buy a t-shirt on the way to the train. The station was playing on one of the channels in our room, and was really interesting. Like an adult version of a college station. Claudia, our guide, also has a show on this station. Check them out at ktna.org!
