My Life In Canada
Above: A picture of Missisisisauga City Hall. It was built to look like a barn.
My family came to Canada from Jamaica in 1981. We settled in Missisauga which is just outside Toronto as you can see on the map to the right. Later I moved to Barry's Bay, which is in Eastern Ontario, closer to Ottawa, the capital of Canada.
The buildings above were actually designed to remind you of Marilyn Munroe's figure! The buildings are in the city centre, called Square One.
We had a lovely brunch at Cora's on my last visit in September, 2014. Cora's is a restaurant chain that started in Montreal, Canada. The food is delicious!
Barry's Bay's population is about 1,200. It doubles or even triples in the summer when the tourists arrive.
A picture I took on a visit back last year: a tranquil view of a cottage by the lake (off Highway 60)
Zurakowski Park was officially opened on July 26, 2003 in Barry's Bay. It honors local resident and world-renowned test pilot, Janusz Zurakowski.
