“In different parts of Toronto,
A local Artist/Labyrinth Enthusiast has been given permission to paint Labyrinths onto local splash pads across the city.
What a joy!
I have a splash pad directly across the street from my house and look what they went and did last month.”

Ummm….
“…has been given permission…”
Sure, Yeah, Let’s go with that !
hahahhaha !!!
Well, technically, The local City Councillor, Mary Margaret McMahon, was literally steps away from the Wading Pool as I finished painting the Fairmount Park Wading Pool Labyrinth.
She was in the park for a small public meeting she had pre-advertised online.
I timed my final Labyrinth painting session so it would match the exact timing of the Councillor’s walk around the park.
When her meeting was done, Councillor McMahon came over, addressed me by name and asked what I was doing ?
I told her I had just finished painting the latest of my Labyrinths in my Toronto City of Labyrinths Project; placemaking Labyrinths within walking distance of every Torontonian.
I also clearly stated I just paint the Labyrinths, asking no one for permission, as there is no one to ask.
She said, “Wow”.
And we left it at that.
