While I’ve been blogging 30 Masjids in 30 Days of Ramadan 2023,
It’s been 30 Days of Biking for Bicycle Mayors around the World.
Toronto’s Bicycle Mayor is Lanrick Jr Bennet.
On this Day 9 of 30 Days of Biking around Toronto,
Lanrick took some time to enjoy Springtime by the Grange Park Labyrinth.
Heading to @thebikebrigade but taking some time enjoy the 8 degrees of Springtime#GoByBikeToronto

Perspective.
What Grown-Ups sometimes, oftentimes, miss seeing…
A Child’s Height View from the Heart in the Centre of The Grange Park Labyrinth . . .
I often say,
“Children Never Walk a Labyrinth,
Children Always Run!”
The UofT Run Club also likes Running around my Christie Pits Park Labyrinth.
Almost five years,
Since I placed the first stone and began building the Vancouver Public Labyrinth.
Alhumdulillah,
It’s still there, and still walkable.
By now,
Thousands upon Thousands of Footsteps have trodden this well worn, and well visible, path.
InshAllah,
It will see at least another five years!

Walked by here today—had to adjust my path to allow a dad and his two kids to finish their enthusiastic walk of the labyrinth. The local councillor needs to intervene. https://t.co/agQvVbBEZn

… to the building and summarily cancelled the event. (the fire pit had been used many times before; there was zero danger to the brick building). I happened to be there when the weeping kids — dozens — came tumbling out of the community building there.
Sad sad sad sad sad.

@LabyrinthsDOTca is a treasure that does the most amazing urban acupuncture.
Municipal parks workers, following King John's lead, seem to have the goal of making parks as unattractive and underserviced as possible to the residents that use them. Damn the costs seemingly.

Erased last week, back today. It’s kind of amazing how how time and money the city is willing to spend trying to kill the guerrilla labyrinth in Grange Park. I mean, it’s not as though the parks budget is flush pic.twitter.com/AXEy4OVbqB

Well when you drive in from Alliston, the last thing you want to see is an email from a staffer saying, "Sorry, GM of Keeping Grass Green & Rec Centre Waiting Lists, but somebody is colouring outside of our lines again."#TOpoli

Once a #park, #playground or walkway gets characterized as a #municipal "asset" to be "managed", the practice of administrators often becomes reduced to holding the line and maintaining the course, at which point creativity gets flushed.
Creativity can be prioritized. Or not.

This is the same thing the city dealt with when ford started up his anti graffiti thing and started sandblasting actual works of art…paid for by BIAs…so dumb…use your brain, figure out what makes a city good and what makes it bad…

It’s fine, it’s whimsical, it’s educational, it’s everything you’d want in a park!

When did they originally remove the maze? That was there when I lived nearby 12 years ago

Guerrilla in the sense of unsanctioned. Staff keep having it removed and the public keeps re-painting it
— Oliver Moore (@moore_oliver) February 22, 2023
Cripes that’s stupid. The public obvious like it.

I'd like to hope that the city's irrational quest to spare no expense to ensure that no unauthorised fun is had will end along with our former mayor.
I suspect it won't. https://t.co/QbeDswxBf3

Why erase it, this is wonderful! Great activity for your mind and I’m sure kids love it! Councillor @ausmalik, how about we have it painted permanently instead of using up resources to keep removing?

“I have seen some of the little ones playing on that. Yeah, I thought it was pretty cool.”
“Everybody really, really enjoys that Labyrinth and every time it’s produced, a few days pass and The City comes and removes it.”

I just saw this on the news. Wth is wrong with the people at City Hall. There is horrendous graffiti all over the City that never gets cleaned, but they spent $14,000 in 2022 removing labyrinths. Geez!

Middle of February 2023,
Warm enough for this little one to scooter around the Christie Pits Park Labyrinth . . .
