We asked our Council Members to share their favorite recent reads that promote Canadian national identity and celebrate our greater diversity locally and globally. If you have any recommended readings, let us know here. The first recommendation comes from Cassandra D'Ambrosio of the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce.
The Time I Loved You is a book by Canadian (Scarborough) author Carrianne Leung. "It's a wonderful coming of age fiction novel that depicts the fine line where childhood meets the realities of adult life, and examines how difficult it is to be true to ourselves at any age. I bought it from local shop, Mixed Media, too!"

Synopsis: The suburbs of the 1970s promised to be heaven on earth—new houses, new status, happiness guaranteed. But in a Scarborough subdivision populated by newcomers from all over the world, a series of sudden catastrophic events reveals that not everyone’s dreams come true. Moving from house to house, Carrianne Leung explores the inner lives behind the tidy front gardens and picture-perfect windows, always returning to June, an irrepressible adolescent Chinese-Canadian coming of age in this shifting world.
