In Toronto, parents and grandparents bring their Little Ones and their push-bikes to waterless Wading Pools to teach them how to ride a bike. The Lines I paint in Toronto’s Wading Pools then double-purpose the Wading Pools into Labyrinths, which then triple-purposes them as Bike-Riding teaching spaces.

In Toronto, parents and grandparents bring their Little Ones and their push-bikes to waterless Wading Pools to teach them how to ride a bike.

The Lines I paint in Toronto’s Wading Pools then double-purpose the Wading Pools into Labyrinths, which then triple-purposes them as Bike-Riding teaching spaces.

Though this Labyrinth I re-painted in East Vancouver is on a flat surface and not a concave wading pool, Little Ones are learning how to ride their bikes using them all the same . . .

The Labyrinth I recently Re-painted in East Vancouver.

The Labyrinth Maker’s house is in the background. He painted it white.

I did not know anything about the Labyrinth nor its Maker until he walked out of his house and said hello while I was repainting.

His name is Jerry. A grandfather, who for several years now, with help from a grandkid of his has annually repainted this Labyrinth with white paint.

He hadn’t yet gotten around to doing that this year.

He was happy that I had taken it upon myself to Re-paint the fading white design lines.

Strathcona Linear Park is a 1970s consequence of the City of Vancouver tearing down three houses in a north-south direction on Hawkes Avenue, in anticipation of the never-completed Project 200 Freeway.

Eventually, Jerry got tired of seeing this patch of paved grey in Linear Greenspace beside his house, and he painted his Labyrinth.

His chosen design comes from the Canvas Labyrinth belonging to Christchurch Cathedral in Downtown Vancouver.

Jerry, seem uncomfortable whenever I said it was his Labyrinth. He said it belonged to everyone.

Including me, the Labyrinth Maker from Toronto who took it upon himself to repaint it . . .

This is really cool!

A timelapse of two children, one, Miguel, stays in the centre while the other walks out from the centre of my Chalk Labyrinth in MacLean Park.

I had re-chalked this particular East Vancouver Labyrinth just the day before, on Wednesday morning.
