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.
HiMY SYeD – Labyrinth Maker & Project Co-ordinator
Labyrinths are made on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples –
Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish),
Stó:lō and
Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh)
and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations.
Labyrinths are made in traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of
the Kwantlen,
the Katzie,
the Semiahmoo
and Tsawwassen First Nations.
Traditional: recognizes lands traditionally used and/or occupied by the People or First Nations in parts of the country.
