Hi all!
I am Raven! I'm part of the online class as I am from Windsor, Ontario. This past week I moved to Mississauga! So I'm currently settling in and getting used to this new change!
I guess something interesting about me is that I know how to play the violin and am interested in learning how to play the lute!
I am taking our program to expand on my previous degree in environmental sciences! I majored in environmental and resource management and found a passion for land use planning. I'd like to marry my interest in design with my passion for urban environments and climate change. :)

Hello everyone, my name is Julio, I grew up in Sao Paulo, Brazil, a city with 20 million inhabitants in its metropolitan area, a little larger than London, Ontario.

I like soccer very much, I often watch games on the TV and I used to go to the stadium very often. I play soccer here in London for Brazukas FC, a team with mostly Brazilian people. I am trying to follow a bit of hockey, I saw some Maple Leaf games last year. I had trouble following the puck, but I really liked the games I have seen.

I am very interested about city planning, specially about urban mobility. I have learned that knowing GIS is a very important tool for urban planning, so I am in this program to gain GIS skills and apply them to Urban Planning.
and why you are taking this program!

Hi everyone! My name is Anthony Ingalls and I am a 20-year-old born and raised in the nation's capital of Ottawa!

Something interesting about myself or my family heritage is that I am related to the real people from the retro show, "Little House on the Prairie".

I am taking this program because of my interest in both helping the communities and finding solutions for sustainability to help stop Climate Change. Also, something weird or a cool thing that I am good at is finding areas within cities without looking them up, which encouraged me to take this program since it deals with a lot of mapping, for the most part.
