​Summer Pilot Project

Program Photos

In 6 days, our young urban changemakers designed and built pop-up installations at St. Andrew's Playground!

Picture
Swingsation is a colourful tree swing with drapes for people who need a semi-private space to relax under some shade. It fits up to two people and serves as a nice spot for lunch. 
Picture
St Andrew's Bark is a doggy bag dispensary for forgetful dog owners or those who just ran out! It also acts as a wayfinding sign for the dog park at St Andrew's Playground, keeping the park beautiful and clean for all to enjoy.
