This was my first time joining my new class in a field trip. I got up early because I had never ridden the subway by myself. "Call 911 if you get lost," my husband said. He likes kidding with me.
Anyway, I was lucky. I arrived at Queen's Park and met with my teacher and classmates at the entrance of the Legislative Building. We went into the hall following the guide. She introduced the Legislative Chamber, the East and West Wings of the building, the history of Ontario and our rich parliamentary heritage.
The building has many showcases of mahogany with richly carved details, portraits of Premiers and Speakers of the House who have contributed to Ontario's history, and busts of prominent Canadians along the hallways on the first and second floors .
