the city of toronto is inviting qualified landscape architects to submit a request for expressions of interest to participate in a two stage design competition for june callwood park.
june callwood park is to be designed and developed as a new park, and significant addition to the public realm of toronto's central waterfront. the park is strategically located at the foot of the historic fort york area of toronto. situated northwest of the fleet street and bathurst street intersection, it will serve as the central public space for local neighbourhood activities in a new high-density, mixed-used community.
the park is named in honour of june callwood, who passed away in 2007 at the age of 82. often referred to as ?canada?s conscious?, june callwood was one of canada?s most internationally acclaimed female journalists, as well as celebrated author, television host, community activist, recipient of nearly 20 honourary degrees, and companion of the order of canada.
june callwood park design competition presents an opportunity to create a process that promotes outstanding design and program excellence, to reflect the aspirations of the community and the park?s namesake, and to create a central focus for local neighbourhood activities and community interaction. the park will also provide an excellent opportunity to improve the accessibility and visibility of fort york and the waterfront. conpetition web site : https://wx.toronto.ca/inter/pmmd/calls.nsf/0/150684db1ea2041c8525745f0053ff67?opendocument email competition : [email protected]
