ALEXANDRA PARK COMMUNITY CENTRE
We explored one Toronto’s most central neighbourhoods,
Atkinson Co-op, the first social housing project in North
America to convert into a Co-op and currently in the process
of revitalization. The Jane’s Walk ended at Scadding Court
Community Centre’s Market 707, a vibrant outdoor market
which provides local entrepreneurs with low cost opportunities to run a successful business.

Kensington Market
as Cultural Landscape

NATIONAL CONVERSATION ON CULTURAL LANDSCAPES
Kensington Market bustles with fishmongers and vintage
fashion, cheese and churros, bongo buskers and street festivals. Joined by local residents and activists, we experienced
the Market through multiple perspectives and talked about
the neighbourhood’s roots and identity, recent threats to
its dynamic character, and community initiatives that have
contributed to its spirit.
