-Lack of resources for those not Italian/Catholic
-Not all high schools have access to student bus for YRT, and the bus stop is in a precarious place that poses danger for students crossing to go back and forth from school (ex. Woodbridge college)
-Woodbridge fair and Wallace house
-Community centers have accessible transit, but the time schedule is not in sync with the event times at the center, which is a disadvantage for students who rely on transit]]> 2021-11-03 15:19:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jholmes20/mjynwy5tgz85aov1/wish/1865009662 https://padlet.com/jholmes20/mjynwy5tgz85aov1/wish/1865016941 Justin and Lauren both went to David Leeder Middle School & St. Marcellinus High school
