“Each person is like a stone in a pond . . . Individual actions, good or bad, send out tiny ripples that change the surface of the pulic pond. People, by choice, can spread warm understanding or cold indifference.”
June Callwood
Balmori Associates and DTAH believe a simple urban park, rich and wonderful in its subtle complexity and formal clarity is an elegant tribute to June Callwood, “Canada’s Conscience.” Our design is a uniquely sculpted surface inspired by the life of June as well as from nature’s phenomena and Fort York’s history.
We envision June Callwood Park as an innovative neighborhood park for Fork York as well as an imaginative landscape for Toronto, a designated Creative City, and advocate of the arts and progressive urban lifestyles.
The entry was one of four shortlisted by the jury of designers and critics, which including George Stroumboulopoulous and Lisa Rochon.
