Toronto has become a City of Labyrinths.
Presently, we may have the greatest physical number of labyrinths of any City in The World. This Jane’s Walk will help us understand why.
Since 2002, the Toronto City of Labyrinths Project has been aiming to place a semi-permanent labyrinth within walking distance of every Torontonian.
This Jane’s Walk will follow a path into and around Christie Pits Park, where a number of the Project’s examples exist.
All four of the most popular labyrinth design patterns will be shown:
Background in-depth history of each of the four major designs will be provided:
Using chalk on paved open space, people will be instructed in how to make their own labyrinths, which we will then enjoy walking in to and out of.
Before returning to our starting point where this Jane’s Walk will end, we will see one bonus example of Giant Outstallation Art:
A limited number of printed materials will be available on a first come first served basis as keepsakes of this Jane’s Walk.
Meeting Place: Traffic Island in Front of Christie Subway Station Main Entrance
End Location: Like all Labyrinth journeys, we will return to our starting point to end the walk (Traffic Island in Front of Christie Subway Station Main Entrance).
Public Transit Directions: Christie Subway Station Main Entrance, Christie Street, North of Bloor Street West, Koreatown/Christie Pits Park
Accessible: Partially accessible – curbs, uneven terrain, busy sidewalks
Parking Available: Green P Parking behind Christie Subway Station

Friends of the Labyrinth Community Network invite you to
“celebrate the vernal equinox, the spring equinox – the day exactly halfway between the solstices, the day that the sun shines directly on the equator and night and day are of equal length. It is the earth’s day of balance…Stand completely still for a moment and feel that balance.” – The Way of the Labyrinth, Helen Curry
