  3. 4 Corners Activity Statements: I believe that Canada is a great place to live. When I grow up, I would like to own lots of land. I can’t wait to have the opportunity to travel and learn new cultures. I plan on living in Lanark County forever (just like my folks!). Mississippi Mills has plenty of services for youth my age.

  4. 4 Corners Activity I believe that the town of Almonte would benefit from some big-box stores. I like to go cross-border shopping. I believe that we can all positively learn from people of different races, ethnicities and cultures. I would like to see more visual minority populations in Lanark County. I would like to have at least two children when I am ready as an adult.
