What do you like the most?
- knowing people around; they always stop and we have a little chat
- though I speak with an accent, dress differently, and my manners are not the most refined, I do not feel condescended to at most places of business
- people still smile and say hello when you pass them on the street
- a sense of safety and security from living in a small community where many people know each othere
- rural and small urban dwellers working together for the good of the community
- friendly people - we lived in Kitchener for five years and barely knew our neighbours - it's very different here

What do you like the least?
- people who move from the city and complain about smell, environment, and development
- gossip and hypocrisy in small towns
- we seem to equate niceness with goodness and aren’t critical when things need to be criticized
- we are too eager to judge and condemn those who are different, poor, or in difficult circumstances
- the changing faces of Woolwich citizens, ie. city folks coming to town and changing manners, attitudes, etc..
- we don’t have a sense of ‘belonging’ to a community. ‘Woolwich’ is too spread out with tiny pockets of population.
