| Hanging out with the dogs Toronto, ON May 2025 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
It is a delightful spot carved out of the shadows of skyscrapers, and it invites everyone who visits here to linger and wonder. It is the very best in placemaking.
The visionary designer, the late Claude Cormier, who along with his team crafted this space in close consultation with the city and the surrounding community, also threw in two cats and two birds.
And while all the dogs are focused on the bone, this lovely feline is zeroed in on the birds.
I wish I could still have a conversation with its legendary creator to understand the story of why. But I’d like to imagine it’s a silent message to those who visit here to follow our instincts, and not the crowd.
Meow.
