The biggest Oktoberfest is held in Munich, Germany. But the second largest Oktoberfest is held in Kitchener, Ontario. Kitchener which use to be a very German city, It was named the Town of Berlin from 1854 until 1912 and the City of Berlin from 1912 until 1916. I think that Oktoberfest is a good event to represent Kitchener because having this event brings use as a city back to our old heritage in a way. It is important to celebrate our past history so we can continue to remember where we came from.]]> 2017-04-27 12:48:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jewia8015/2jrtklrjmwk6/wish/168612335 jewia8015 https://padlet.com/jewia8015/2jrtklrjmwk6/wish/168612368 The maple leaf is something that defines Canada as a country. When different countries around the world see the maple leaf, they right away think of Canada. It represents the value of our country. When I see the maple leaf, I think of safety, acceptance and pride. The reason I think safety, acceptance and pride come from the maple leaf is because the maple leaf is such a powerful symbol of Canada and Canada is a safe place, we are accepting of others and we all show pride in our nation. ]]> 2017-04-27 12:48:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jewia8015/2jrtklrjmwk6/wish/168612368 jewia8015 https://padlet.com/jewia8015/2jrtklrjmwk6/wish/168612455 For me ice hockey represents my athletic side. Ice hockey is a sport that can push you to do things you never thought you would be able to do. This 60 minute game can feel like 15 minutes or it can feel like 2 hours. Hockey teaches you thinks in life that you don't even realize. Hockey teaches you teamwork, leadership and integrity. I feel like hockey represents me well because I enjoy having a new challenge every time I step on to the Ice.  ]]> 2017-04-27 12:48:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jewia8015/2jrtklrjmwk6/wish/168612455 jewia8015 https://padlet.com/jewia8015/2jrtklrjmwk6/wish/168615471 I feel as though Canada's national anthem, O'Canada, represents Canada perfectly because the song is one thing that can bring a whole country together. Whenever there is a major event around the world and Canada is being announced, everyone there knows that it is Canada just by our anthem. It is a anthem that sticks out to many around the world and an anthem that every Canadian should feel pride in.]]> 2017-04-27 12:59:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jewia8015/2jrtklrjmwk6/wish/168615471 jewia8015 https://padlet.com/jewia8015/2jrtklrjmwk6/wish/168616862 The clock tower in Kitchener is a historic symbol that represents our region. It represents a former city hall to show our city's history. It is placed in the middle of Victoria Park and is a defining symbol of our region. The clock tower is on Kitchener's flag and it is a symbol of municipal pride. ]]> 2017-04-27 13:03:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jewia8015/2jrtklrjmwk6/wish/168616862 jewia8015 https://padlet.com/jewia8015/2jrtklrjmwk6/wish/168765187 For me, Fishing is a way to get out in nature. I think fishing a something that sort of represents me because I like being able to go out into nature and stay there for a while. Fishing is something that takes a while but at the same time it is almost all luck. I find fishing as something that is thrilling, there is no better feeling when you have a fish on the line and know you are going to reel it in.]]> 2017-04-27 21:44:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jewia8015/2jrtklrjmwk6/wish/168765187 jewia8015 https://padlet.com/jewia8015/2jrtklrjmwk6/wish/168917700 I love this quote from Wayne Gretzky because it shows that anything that you try to do, has potential to work out if you give 100% of your effort.]]> 2017-04-28 16:03:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jewia8015/2jrtklrjmwk6/wish/168917700
