Newsletter paragrpah
I am glad to inform you that there has been an opening of a new community center in our neighborhood. This is an idea place for everyone, especially for teenagers and young adults. There is a fitness center, a swimming pool, 2 basketball courts, a skating rink, and an indoor tennis court in the community center. This is a great place to do volunteering for the community as sometimes there are fundraising events for the local sick kids hospital. The community center is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. which fits most of the people's schedule. It also provides tutoring and homework help for kids from elementary to high school. Overall, it is an ideal and spectacular addition to our community. To sign up, visit the main office from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. from Monday to Friday.
Minimum Wages
Minimum wage in my province Ontario is $10.25. It is more than Alberta, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Northwest Territories, Prince Edward island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan. It is less than the minimum wage of Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, amd Yukon while it is the same as British Columbia.
Picnic Activity
Three activities in the picnic: 1. Adult kickball game, 2. Having a meal, and 3. Enjoy the weather with everybody.
For signing up, one has to go to the church's website, click on the events tab, and register from there.
This sounds like a fun activity, so I'd like to attend.

My country Bangladesh
Bangladesh is a small country located in the southern part
of Asia. It has borders with India and Myanmar. South of the country is
surrounded by the Bay of Bengal. It has a population of nearly 170 million
while it has an area of just 143 thousand square kilometer. It has the highest
population density in the world.
Bangladesh is an agriculture based country. Around 70% of
the country produces rice and it is sold as the main source of food all over
the country. Even though Bangladesh is such a highly populated country, it has
a strong farming industry, clothing and garments industry, and it is developing
as a strong IT based country.
Bangladesh is a river irrigated country with over 50 rivers
running through it. This is one of the main reasons of fish as a typical
Bengali meal. A lot of people earn living by catching fish. Bangladesh also
exports frozen fish to its neighboring countries as well as western countries.
For last few decades, Bangladesh has developed its garments
industry as one of the finest in the world. It has attracted heavyweight buyers
such as Loblaws and Walmart Canada as its main customers.
Bangladesh has a great export environment as it exports
clothing, rice, corns, tea and many more to its neighboring countries as well
as countries like USA and Canada.
There are a lot of famous figures in Bangladesh including
Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus. He was awarded with this highest award
of the world because of his significant contribution to micro financing in the country
and eliminating poverty in several regions.
Bangladesh is a beautiful country in terms of its nature. It
attracts thousands of tourists each year in different tourism centers in the country,
main of which are the longest beach in the world, the Cox’s Bazaar, an island
which is formed completely out of coral names St. Martin, world’s largest
mangrove forest known as the Sundarbans and many more.
Sundarbans is the world’s largest mangrove forest. It is
listed as a world heritage site by UNESCO. The specialty of this forest is that
the trees have their own breathing mechanism through their roots that stick out
of the ground. This phenomenon takes place due to the extreme salt
concentration in the soil and the tides that wash along the forest. The
Sundarbans is inhabited by the Royal Bengal Tigers, who are the largest cats in
the world. Sundarbans is one of the only few places in the world where this
magnificent creature can roam around. Bengal Tigers are critically endangered
and this forest is right now the only place where they live in groups.
Overall, Bangladesh is a developing country of the third
world. Us Bangladeshis, we like to dream big and want to see Bangladesh as a
strong economic state in the world. I am proud of my country and I am a proud
Bangladeshi.
