Ontario Place should be renamed Any Place. Margie Zeidler shares why Ontario Place plans are deeply flawed. They make it seem as if Ontario has nothing to celebrate, showcase or reflect on in terms of unique offering or identity. #Onpoli @401Richmond ow.ly/qizn50IAYwG

Disappointed in the consultation about the future of Ontario Place? You're not alone.
Send this letter to ask the Province and the City to treat Ontario Place with the respect it deserves.

The COVID-19 pandemic has only bolstered arguments for the importance of access to nature and healthy ecosystems. Our CCPR shows how people found new relief in exploring natural spaces, and using parks to decompress. #CanadianCityParksReport

We were fortunate to help run & support a few community gardens around the city such as Fort York and Hope Garden at Masaryk-Cowan Community Centre in Parkdale! Artists like Ozzy and Eze (pictured below) took such care and always treated our gardens with love.

The City of Toronto is re-opening a number of park amenities due to updates in the provincial emergency order. For this weekend, City staff will re-open picnic shelters, soccer fields, baseball diamonds and basketball courts, while making sure public health measures are in place.

Black-capped Chickadee pausing for a moment..
Cool fact: Chickadees hide seeds and small berries to eat later, each item is placed in a different spot. These birds can remember thousands of hiding spaces!

A beautiful Merlin (small falcon) surveying 38’th Street Park!
Some merlins are so well adapted to city life that they no longer bother to migrate. Merlin’s diet consists of small birds, large insects and small mammals.
