He started the tour by having each member introduce themselves and created an atmosphere of unity and empathy. I loved the tour and was able to appreciate the architectural and cultural aspects of Toronto. We walked extensively and covered the parks, concert venues, railroad cars that are part of an exhibit, and much more. It was an unforgettable experience in my book. A high five for Ken!”
