City of Labyrinths

Toronto & Vancouver City of Labyrinths is a Project to create public Labyrinths within walking distance of every Torontonian & Vancouverite.

Intended to create safe walking spaces for both play and contemplation.

Labyrinths are placed in parks, public spaces, during neighbourhood street parties or major urban festivals like Pedestrian Sunday Kensington Market in Toronto or Car Free Days in Vancouver.
