An impromptu skating party at the pond lifts Charlie’s spirits. Togetherness, after all, is what the holidays are really about.

The Bentway’s playful installation of 50 trees in shopping carts shines a light on climate resilience and green equity

Designed by NL Architects as a part of The Bentway’s Sun/Shade exhibition, this outlandish yet purposeful installation transforms a fleet of 50 shopping carts into mobile vessels for native trees—red maples, silver maples, sugar maples and autumn blaze—that roll through some of Toronto’s most sun-scorched plazas, creating impromptu oases of shade and community.
