Toronto has lost its Heart…Labyrinth, in Grange Park…
Yet grateful that thousands of Torontonians + Tourists were able to enjoy and walk my Grange Park “❤️” Heart Labyrinth before this again happened today….
Toronto doesn’t have the money to get water fountains going in a timely way but will send workers again and again to erase the labyrinth people paint in Grange Pk pic.twitter.com/Bov94U8d4Y

They could just give people water and toilets in the first place and save money and effort, but they'd rather be dicks about it

For heaven’s sake, @cityoftoronto , where in the bylaws does it say we can’t have nice things and our tax dollars will pay to make sure of it? https://t.co/v9SP6tBfC0

Indeed, The City of Toronto removes park infrastructure, Labyrinths, at some cost to the taxpayer.
Whereas The City of Labyrinths Project installs park infrastructure, Labyrinths, at zero cost to the taxpayer.
Kinda cool to see an Aerial Drone photograph of people walking my Labyrinth at the Mouth of the Humber River !
Happy time.
My Labyrinth at the Mouth of the Humber River makes a cameo.
Aerial Drone Video flyover of the Humber Bay Arch Bridge dubbed to Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill earworm made current by streaming television show, Stranger Things.
Incidentally, to get from the Labyrinth to the Humber Bay Arch Bridge, you can choose to run up a hill, seen as the desire line path in the top middle-left of the photograph above.
Today is National Indigenous People’s Day 2022.
Video walk around of my Medicine Wheel Labyrinth painted on the surface of the wading pool inside Phin Park, in East End Toronto / Tsí Tkaròn:to.
I haven’t been able to return with enough time and energy to repaint this fading Medicine Wheel Labyrinth.
Hopefully, InshAllah, I can refresh all the colours in time for Orange Shirt Day on Friday September 30 2022.
“This is the large Labyrinth in the wading pool at Christie Pits park,
Created by Labyrinth artist, HïMY SYeD.
This wading pool was part of his vision of transforming Toronto into a City of Labyrinths.
I love this one,
Because he’s also painted smaller Labyrinths (as seen here) inside the larger Labyrinth.❤”
– Deb Svanefelt, Friends of the Labyrinth Community Network of Ontario
Haven’t seen my Grange Park “❤️” Heart Labyrinth captured from this perspective before.
Both the black and white and the colour photograph version tell their own story.
Moreso the black and white…
BUT(!)
This instagrammer tagged the City of Toronto’s official instagram account with these photographs, and that might be just enough of a nudge for someone official-ish to go ahead and remove my Grange Park “❤️” Heart Labyrinth.
Ergo,
Walk it while you can!
“Finally met the inestimable HïMY SYeD after randomly deciding to host a family gathering from far-flung areas of the GTA at Chinguacousy Park this afternoon.
Love and appreciate his work.”

Well @CityBrampton you do a solid job with your parks. Preschooler is beyond thrilled here at Chinguacousy Park. pic.twitter.com/vjHmJUhdvV

Was wondering whether you could spot my “❤️” Heart Labyrinth in the middle of Grange Park from the top floor of The Art Gallery of Ontario.
Now we know !
“Talk about amazing artwork on the streets!
I’m so glad I got to experience the awesome vibes at last weekend’s Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington Market!”
Thanks for stopping by!

Before you can enter the Labyrinth,
Someone has to make it.
So that someone is me,
Holding paint can and brush,
Looking serious and rocking my Kensington Labyrinth T-Shirt in Kensington Market,
While painting Labyrinths on Augusta Avenue during Pedestrian Sunday Kensington Market in Downtown Toronto . . .
Here I am painting a Heart Labyrinth on Augusta Avenue during Pedestrian Sunday Kensington Market using the unexpected colour of yellow rather than the expected colours of red or pink when it comes to matters, and Labyrinths, of the Heart.
However,
I did use Red/Pink coloured chalk to outline my Heart Labyrinth design, so maybe this Yellow Heart Labyrinth was really Red/Pink after all ?
Before I even finished painting the outer most line, a couple walked through all the way to the centre where they then stood and kissed each other.
Who needs mistletoe above your head when you have a Heart Labyrinth below your feet !
“No meu último final de semana nessa cidade maravilhosa conheci o Kensington Market.
Um local jovem, descolado, onde você pode encontrar de tudo: comida das mais diversas etnias, peixes, doces, pães, queijos e frios, roupas, flores, e, como não poderia deixar de ser, diversos espaços artísticos cheios de vida e muita música.
Toronto, uma cidade que sempre nos surpreende 🇨🇦”
