Public Workshop: Growing Streets on Ookwemin Minising

Ookwemin Minising (pronounced “Oh-kway-min Min-nih-sing”, meaning “place of the black cherry trees” in Anishinaabemowin/Ojibwemowin) is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to imagine a new kind of place on Toronto’s waterfront!

On Wednesday, May 20, we’re hosting a high-energy, in-person public workshop to explore the future of OM’s streets together. We imagine this evening to be one that sparks creativity, conversation, and excitement, bringing together voices and perspectives from across the community!

This workshop is for anyone! Whether this is your first time hearing about OM or you’ve been following the project closely, you’ll have the chance to reflect, ask questions, share what matters to you, and hear from others.

The Ookwemin Minising project team brings together planners, designers, engineers, and engagement practitioners who have been working closely with Indigenous partners and the community to imagine what Ookwemin Minising could become. We’ll give you context on this project, facilitate small‑group conversations, and make space for open, respectful dialogue throughout the night.

Note: This is a workshop, not a drop-in open house. Doors open at 6pm - please arrive before we kick off at 6:30pm!
