Celebrate FORTY-ONE All-embracing this Saturday, July 4th

FORTY-ONE embraces neighbours from all points of the compass. 

In spite of physical distance, we all remain connected.

30 Esplanadians, under the leadership of 8 artists, gave the book, FORTY-ONE Neigbours, another dimension. Join us to celebrate FORTY-ONE All-embracing this Saturday, July 4th, starting at 2pm from the basketball court (230 The Esplanade) and moving through Crombie Park. Discover with neighbours, family and friends a mural, a dance performance and a photo exhibit that we created in the context of the Toronto 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games.

FORTY-ONE All-embracing features guitarist Maneli Jamal, drummers & pannists Soul Empi'yah, and Heath Tarlin Entertainment stilt walkers.
