      Image shows ferries at city docks with high rise buildings under construction. 
      Two Island ferries are tied up on the waterfront in the winter; with only the car ferry operating for the people who live on Algonquin and Ward's Islands. But the Harbor Police continue their 24-hour watch from a tower.

      I just met a man who doesn't have a single complaint. Sik Kan Chung is 91. It took him 15 minutes to walk across the park to Woodgreen Community Centre from his place to meet me. Ten years ago it took him only 10 minutes. Another 10 years, maybe it will take half an hour, he said, laughing so hard his glasses slid down his nose. [Incomplete]
