FEEDBACK
"I used to live by High Park a few years ago and just moved back into the city this year, right beside High Park again. The first thing I did was go for a run and your signs made it pretty difficult for me get in a good run. I kept stopping to read one, run a few more steps, stop to read another, stop, read, run, stop, read, run. It was great! Thanks so much for doing all the organizing to make that happen. I'm so soothed to know that people are out there working hard to share the wild spaces!" - SL
