We have quite high traffic in Krylatskoe.
Nearby our school is Moscow-river which divides
Moscow on two parts proceeds. Near the church there is a
spring with curative water. Many people go there to
potable water.
There is the sleeping area therefore in Krylatskoe and it
is is a lot of houses here.
In our sleeping area there are no large
factories and plants. We have only sports
constructions: a bicycle line, the channel
for rowing, stadium for skating. The
ecology of our area is polluted only by
people who come here to have a rest and
leave dust
Unfortunately, here is constructed the highspeed highway which will do a lot of noise
and will pollute our air.
 There are 62,1 thousand people live in our area
 9,2 thousand - children to 16 years old
 10,2 thousand – the retired people.
 The district is served by 6 hospitals,
 There is 1 social service center,
 17 schools, including 6 private and 3 libraries.
Dialog with our government.
Our workshops:

20–th of December the conference
of the youth and the local
government
We had a chance to speak about different
youth problems.
It was interesting for us because we could
talk to our local government and could be
sure that they heard us.
And also they could tell us what do they
think about our problems and what is the
best way to solve them
The expertise questionnaire
The problems in our district
• Low level of interest of participating
teenagers in district activities
• Low level of information – we have no
enough information in time
• We don’t have teen’s clubs, sport clubs
and cultural center for youth
The quality of life
• We have no enough cultural centers for
Youth
• We have unsafe, sometimes dangerous
places in our district to walk
• We have a lot of sport complexes but the
price is very high
The participation of
youth in developing
of our district.
I find problems of
youth:
important – 69%
The youth opinion must be heard by
the local government when the next
programs will be created:
1)Creation of modern education and
professional abilities – 65,5%

-Our local government here in Toronto is simple. There
are 6 political parties: NDP, Conservatives, Liberals and
the Green Party.. There were recent elections, and
Liberals won. Dalton McGuinty is the premier of Ontario.
- Education in Ontario is very important. The Ontario
government provides resources that can help you make
informed choices throughout your entire educational
career.
- Ontario is a magnet for industry, the arts and science.
The population is made up of many cultural backgrounds
drawn to this vibrant province. Ontario government is
lowering class sizes in the primary grades Junior
Kindergarten to Grade 3. That.s because Students in
smaller classes get more attention, do better and are
more likely to succeed in high school and beyond.

What I like about here in Toronto, is that the government tries to involve
youth in the politics too, they want us to know what is going on, in fact they
gave us a right to vote. Also, on one day there was an assembly at our
schools and each member of the political party was giving us a speech on
what he wants to achieve and why and how will it help us all.
Also in my opinion, every second high school student is doing something to
be involved in helping the government. Each student has to work 40 hours
with no payments in order to graduate. They can work in the church, library,
etc. I think that’s a lot of help the youth is giving to the government. I like to
see that the government, trying to improve the education to maximum, in
Ontario, so more people can graduate and have a bright future.
There is also one thing that government is asking. In Ontario there is huge
amounts of garbage producing, therefore to avoid that the government
focused on recycling for a while. In 2006, if I am not mistaken, every house
in Thornhill, received a green food bin, and a manual of what to put in.
Green bin was designed to recycle organic products, therefore it will have
plenty of composts and way more less garbage. We try to obey those
simple and easy rules and thus we do our best, to be involved in helping the
government.

Our local council is made up of nine members; a
mayor, 3 regional councilors and 5 local
councilors. The mayor is the head of the city and
the regional councilors represent Vaughan (our
city) at local and regional levels of the
government. The five local councilors are
chosen from five districts and they represent
those districts on the Vaughan Council.
2. The many activities available for students include (but are not
limited to): team sports, individual sports, skating, bowling,
clubs, organized events (dances) etc. Volunteer work is
available and it is also very useful for the students because it is
a chance to gain volunteer hours which are needed in order to
graduate. If students find something wrong and they need to
complain they could call or write a letter or email. They could
also form a petition and get the maximum number of signatures
on the petition. Teenagers could form a petition and if they
meet the requirements (get the right number of signatures) the
government might consider their idea.
3. Students can write many articles and publish suggestions for
the government. If students choose to start a petition they can
encourage people to sign it by advertising.

part in is also, more or less, a competition and a place for communication.

Yes, but there could be more…

What is bothering you most of all in your district ?
The transport.
Imagine that a new student come to your school. What places
in your district you don’t advice him/her to visit or to be careful
there ? Why ?
•
Our city is not a very dangerous one but we do have a few
cases of attacks. We would advice him to stay home in the
night or to avoid the dark, quiet areas.

There is Youth organization “Molodaya Gvardia” in our village. It was organized in 2005.
We are 16- pupils of our school and students of Syktyvkar institutes. The head of our
organization is Yulia Konyarova. We organize different cultural events in our village and
in our school. In June (the Youth Day) we prepared a big action “We are for healthy style
of life”. It had a great success. For the Victory Day we organized a big concert for our
veterans. We sang old songs about war, danced, showed short plays. The audience was
very happy because nowadays we seldom can hear these songs which remind them
their youth. Another big action was “KVN” between the teams from different villages of
our district. We won!! Ilya Visheratin from our grade was the best. (by Alexandra
