Heritage Toronto and the Creating Toronto Walk


Here is a great CP24 video profile of Heritage Toronto's walking tour that focuses on the very popular St. Lawrence Neighbourhood Walk called "Creating Toronto"

We encourage all to take the "Creating Toronto Walk" and view the two historic plaques that were purchased by the St. Lawrence Neighbourhood Association to help visitors and residents alike to learn more about the creation of our city and in particular the role of our historic neighbourhood.

​

Upcoming Jamii Sponsored Performances 


Two x 30
Live at  the Kisanii Hub
From June 9 - June 11
On The Esplanade

 
‘Two x 30’ explores the link between our collective and unconscious patterns of  movement and our environment - the landscape and waterways, and surrounding architecture.

What begins as 'passing each other on the sidewalk' soon develops into an intricate physical conversation, highlighting the complexity of human interaction and communication. It is an outdoor contemporary dance/live art work, presented in a series of 50-minute duet performances, stretching across the city of Toronto in May/June 2022.

Each highly-structured, improvised movement-based performance is paired with a robust sonic score which supports and enhances the viewing experience.

Prior to Twox30 performances, audiences will be treated to live music by Arlene Paculan, Michael Clarke, and Aline Morales!

During the event, Kisanii Hub’s Storytelling and Face Painting corners will be welcoming all ages of the community. For the first time ever, Cathy Thorne will be joining the Kisanii Hub with her typewriter for Esplanadians to experience the art of creating typewriter poetry in 5 minutes or less - on the spot!

Visit Jamii.ca/twox30 for more information!
 
When & Where:

Thursday, June 9 at 4 pm @ David Crombie Park (DAS Playground – The Esplanade & Lower Jarvis)
Friday, June 10 at 4 pm @ David Crombie Park (Market Lane PS Playground – Behind the Basketball Court)
Saturday, June 11 at 4 pm @ David Crombie Park (Water Fountain – The Esplanade & George St S)
 

This Jamii Event is Presented In Partnership with Canadian Stage Company and ArtworxTO.
