    Landscapes and green areas are spectacular in Calgary too!

    Hi everybody!

    We saw news about the Hurricane Sandy in New York, but we didn´t know anything about what were the consequences of this in Canada. So here you have a video where you can see the situation in Toronto after the hurricane. It´s very interesting.

 See you soon!

INTERESTING NEWS


      Hi people!
   
      I offer you an article by CBC NEWS about the future of the elephants in zoos in Canada.  There are some arguments because an expert and director of a zoo, David Hancocks,  disagree with the elephant's life in zoos. In our trip, we are going to visit the famous Valley Zoo, in Edmonton and another in Calgary.

Toronto ground zero for battle over future of elephants in zoos


    More zoos moving away from elephant programs

    For the past year and a half, a fierce battle has raged over whether three African elephants should stay in their decades-old home at the Toronto Zoo.
    
    But it's a battle that some experts say is now at the centre of a larger North American debate about the future of elephants in zoos.
    
    Deciding to stop housing the showstopping animals that bring so many visitors through its front gates is no easy decision —and one that's put it at the centre of a larger North American debate about the future of elephants in zoos.Since the facility opened in 1974, the Toronto Zoo has always had elephants.

    In an interview with CBC's the fifth estate, internationally renowned zoo director and architect David Hancocks thinks that zoos are "on the cusp of a major paradigm shift."
     
    While people have wondered for years whether a zoo can exist without the presence of an elephant, Hancocks suggests a different future. "I suspect as soon as 10 years time we'll probably hear people say, 'How can you call yourself a zoo if you've got an elephant in it?'"
