Stream of study: Co-op
Favourite co-op: Working at a small planning, urban design, and landscape architecture consultancy firm in Downtown Toronto. The firm consists of 12 full-time staff members so we were a very tight-knit group. This has been my favourite co-op experience because of the positive/fun work culture and the ability to interact with my co-workers every day in the office.
