April Blog Roundup & May Preview
It
feels like it was just yesterday that I was writing March's blog
roundup, but here I am 30 days later writing another roundup post!
April
was such an interesting month. I had some great and not-so great
moments. I'm staying on my healthy lifestyle journey and having fun
exploring Toronto. I had a death in my extended family, which has made
me reevaluate some of my family relationships. I also started to pick up
some freelance work as a Social Media Specialist and guest blogger, so
my life is getting pretty hectic!
Toronto's Canoe Landing Park and Public Art Installations Review
A few weeks ago I enjoyed a walking art tour organized by MOCCA and led by Betty Ann Jordan from Art InSite and Ben Mills from Public Art Management. The tour explored various public art installations near the Gardiner expressway that included several installations designed by Douglas Coupland. I have always known that Toronto has alot of public art (I walk by several every day), but I really had no idea of the amount of amazing art by world renowned artists are on display for free, throughout the city.

Art tours and guided city walks are a great way to learn more about Toronto and all it has to offer. MOCCA's Douglas Coupland Tour packed in so many amazing art installations, that for this post I'm going to focus on one of my favourite outdoor spaces in Toronto from the tour - Canoe Landing Park.
