Trips to the dairy bar? Early morning hockey at Community Gardens? The fact you can walk down the street and people will smile at you whether they know you or not?

We want to know. Sing it to us, show us in Lego™, recite your original poem, put a sign on your dog, doesn’t matter… the more creative the better. Just tell us what you love about Kensington, and send us the video. We’ll upload it to YouTube, and then encourage people to watch.
