Explore Toronto’s transformed waterfront on a guided bus and walking tour of Biidaasige Park, located on the newly created Ookwemin Minising island. Connect with colleagues while discovering how art, Indigenous placekeeping, ecological restoration, flood protection and future housing come together in this remarkable new urban landscape.
Along the way, you will:
- Learn about Biidaasige Park’s Indigenous history and relationship to reconciliation, placekeeping, water restoration and habitat renaturalization, and see how these themes are expressed along the Lassonde Art Trail—including a newly installed work by Kent Monkman
- Discover how innovative landscape design supports flood mitigation while creating space for a vibrant urban park and future housing development for Ookwemin Minising
The walk is approximately 2 km and includes return trip by bus between the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel and Biidaasige Park. Please dress appropriately for the weather. Temperatures can be cooler by the waterfront, please dress appropriately.
