It's not only gingerbread people that find their home in the #TSAGingerbreadCity, there are new housing types for our feathery friends (and the occassional squirrel) and an amazing icing free structure where you can just monkey around... (5/7)

Working with the natural environment as the foundation for planning and urban design adds value in every sense. Massive Don River project shows why conservation authorities matter —and why Doug Ford’s government is wrong to attack them thestar.com/opinion/contri… via @torontostar

There's still time to save Ontario Place from the (frankly monstrous) plan the Ford government wants to implement. I spent the morning listening to former mayor David Crombie, Ken Greenberg and Gil Penalosa talk about what parks are for: Are they for the people, or for profit?

You've heard of Therme's artificial nature spa. Get ready for their artificial Queen's Park experience where you can imagine what it's like to have a functional provincial government! Add your name to save Ontario Place at kristynwongtam.ca/ontarioplace #ONpoli #OntarioPlace4All
