I've listed this article for peer review because I would love to be able to get this article up to FA status and this would be a step towards it.

Review by User:LinguistAtLarge
[edit]Let my start off saying I think this article is very good as it is, and I don't see a lot I don't like. After a cursory scan of the article, I have the following suggestions: (These are just my personal opinion or suggestions-- use your own good judgement before following them).
- Education section - I'd put K-12 before postsecondary-- seems more logical to me.
- Done
- There's a left-aligned image under a sub heading (===) (in the infrastruction section) See MOS:IMAGES.
- Done
- The panoramic image that goes the width of the screen might not be appropriate.
- The caption text for a few of the images, while good and descriptive, seems a bit on the long side. WP:CAPTIONS. Captions should be concise.
- I don't know if the dollar amounts should be specified as Canadian dollars or not. But there might be confusion whether they are CAD or USD.
- The weather averages table sort of jumps out at me as being overbearing, but I'm not sure what should/could be done about that.
- Make sure the article makes good use of a summary style WP:SUMMARYSTYLE. So for each section you have a good summary of important information, while linking to the main article on the topic. I see there are already links to the "main article" for many of the sections, but perhaps the information can be summarized better so as to slightly shorten the article.
- I'd like to see a larger image in the infobox. Maybe use the same image as now, but zoom in on the center section.
