Featuring 400+ local canoers and paddlers joining us for this memorable performance\, participants will paddle in a coordinated\, slow-moving procession. An epic celebration of Lake Ontario along the Toronto Waterfront\, Melissa McGill’s project maps Toronto’s harbour and waterfront biosphere with the lake’s own vocabulary expressed through its natural colour palette. By giving visual voice to the interconnected relationships above and below the waters\, the project invites us to shift our perspective to participate in and learn from nature’s wisdom and creativity. \nWhat to Expect  \n\nA slow-moving procession of approximately 120 canoes with large\, wind-activated colour field paintings will move through Biidaasige Park and the Eastern Waterfront towards Sugar Beach.\nThe entire experience will last approximately 2 hours from beginning to end.\nTwo performances will take place at 11am and 4pm on September 27/28\nThe experience will be visible from many points along theEastern Waterfront and Biidaasige Park in Oekwemin Minising. A full map of optimal viewing areas will be available in September.\nFor the safety of the canoe participants\, the experience may need to amend its route or adjust starting times in response to high winds or inclement weather.
