About the organizer
Organized by
Don River Valley ParkThe Don River Valley Park is the centrepiece of Toronto’s rapidly growing downtown: a 200-hectare park spanning Pottery Road to Corktown Common.
Building connections to and from neighbourhoods, the Park provides an opportunity for Torontonians and visitors to engage in cultural activities, enhancing the environment of an incomparable but undervalued asset—the Don Valley.
Our stunningly beautiful valley system has remained largely overlooked for decades, but not anymore.
As the “backyard” to 250,000 residents (and soon another 60,000), representing some of the greatest cultural and economic diversity in Canada, reclaiming and protecting the Don Valley has never been more important.
