8:20 p.m. Human River: Bringing the Garrison Creek Back to Life!
Human River is a Toronto Public Space Committee campaign that started in 2005. The aim of Human River is to create community events that celebrate the buried Garrison Creek by exploring its past, reenvisioning its future and discussing its current stormwater issues. Over the years, Human River has worked towards this aim through a range of eclectic events including: art shows, film screenings, arts and education workshops, an arts education program in schools and an annual story telling parade. During the annual story telling parade, participants wear blue, becoming a human river and bringing the Garrison Creek back to life!
