For @DesignlinesMag, I visited Biidaasige—the new adventure playground at the foot of the Don River—and let my toddler guide me. She was ecstatic. Children need risky play. Long live Biidaasige. @WaterfrontTO

With its slim engine profile, the H3 by @ValorFireplaces fits seamlessly into both new builds and renovation projects, making it an ideal choice for replacing outdated wood- or gas-burning fireplaces.

My City Beat Column—on art, architecture, and urbanism—for @DesignlinesMag is a finalist for a Digital Publishing Awards (Best Column). And that's a nice little nod for a column in its first year.

Bloor/St George is open ahead of schedule, so I swung by to see how it’s going. My heart is full. What an accomplishment by @TO_Cycling_Ped. #biketo

The intersection of Bloor & St. George has reopened, ahead of schedule. City staff and crews worked hard to minimize impacts to traffic. We now have a safer, more efficient intersection.

There is a sign in front of the map which reads "Where is home in Toronto? Add a pin to the map". Next to this sign is a white bowl with many blue pins inside.
