8. Sidewalks are not for bicycles!
Original English title:Sidewalks are not for bicycles!
Post summary:I just don't get it. I walk twice a day between Bayview Road and Huronia Road.

10. French Immersion Program
Original English title:French Immersion Program
Post summary:Just looking for feedback on getting your child into French immersion. My daughter is entering senior kindergarten this year, and we've been considering French immersion for grade 1 and up. My only hesitation is that they don't teach them to read or write in English, and English doesn't start until grade 3. I just don't want her to lack the foundation in English phonics, reading, and writing in her future years. I know I can supplement at home, but it's not exactly the same as school instruction
