BACKGROUND: A residential construction boom is contributing to the growth and transformation of the City of Toronto, and record numbers of young people currently living in downtown condos are now also starting to have children. Jeanhy Shim, CEO and Founder of Toronto's one-of-a-kind Children's Discovery Centre (www.childrensdiscoverycentre.com) knows first-hand about child rearing in the City. Only 18 months ago Shim began a grassroots initiative along with parents and supporters, to bring to life the pilot project that opens Saturday, May 23rd until September 30th in Garrison Point beside Liberty Village.
