27 h. ago 50 trees in shopping carts will parade down the streets of Toronto this weekend

This weekend, Toronto is about to get a lot greener, and a just a little more quirkier.On Saturday, July 5, dozens of trees will roll their way down to the city's waterfront as part of The Bentway's whimsical new public art installation, Moving Forest.Picture this: 50 real trees in shopping carts, being pushed across the city by volunteers, forming temporary pop-up canopies in some of Toronto's sunniest and most exposed spaces.Yes, it's exactly as it sounds. Do I have your attention?Created by Amsterdam-based NL Architects, Moving Forest is both a playful spectacle and a serious statement. The initiative supports Toronto's ambitious goal to grow its tree canopy to 40 per cent by 2050, a plan that's as much about community well-being and environmental sustainability as it is about urban design.But sparking city-wide engagement with trees? That takes a little imagination.Cue the parade.Starting from The Bentway at 250 Fort York Blvd, at 1:00 pm, the t...

3 d. ago Toronto birds dying because of new transit line that ironically shares name with bird

Trigger warning: This article contains photos of injured animals and may be distressing to some readersAt an underpass where construction is wrapping up on the soon-to-open Finch West LRT, concerns are being raised over dead pigeons found trapped amid the site alterations. Pigeons appear to be getting caught between a concrete wall and a red metal plate — installed by Metrolinx, trying to get back to their roost site. The irony here? The new LRT, planned to open this year as the TTC's Line 6, is named for Finch Avenue, which, while originating from the moniker of a former hotel and its owner, also shares the name of the finch species of birds, of which multiple subspecies are found in Toronto.The site in question is located along a westbound stretch of Finch where the LRT crosses under rail tracks just before Weston Road. Here, concerned Toronto resident Ann Martin first found evidence of the birds' tragic fate. The red meta...
