We’re excited to welcome the Cycle Toronto Rec Hub to Evergreen Brick Works!

This community space takes the intimidation out of bike maintenance and repair while serving as a hub for cycling programming all summer long.

We’re proud to partner with Cycle Toronto to help make cycling more accessible, build confidence on two wheels and create more opportunities for people to choose active transportation.

🚲 Wednesdays: 3 p.m. – 7 p.m.
🚲 Saturdays: 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
🚲 Sundays: 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

When I wrote these words—and so many of the ideas in my book—I didn’t realize they would be tested so immediately & intensely. Still, here we are. Still, these words. #restinpeace #alexpretti #reneegood

Maybe teens don't just want to be inside and on screens, they're just waiting for cities to give them spaces outside where they can thrive. #voicesinpublicspace youtu.be/Nglj28GuK-s?...

"A lot of magic can happen when people come together in public space, and you can’t always predict exactly what it will be." It was such a pleasure talking to @jasonthorne.bsky.social about the joy potential of public spaces in our cities.

“Anytime you allow children some independence and autonomy, they’re going to develop skills that allow them to recognize risk and manage it on their own.” Check out our conversation with Dr. Suzanne Beno from SickKids Hospital on the values of risky play www.evergreen.ca/stories/doct...

Well designed public spaces aren't just good to relax in, they actually reward a slower pace by surprising and delighting those who are willing to linger. We wrote a bit about this in this month's Evergreen News. Check it out and sign up if you're not subscribed. www.evergreen.ca/stories/atte...

With winter on the way, mild or cold, it's always better when there are great places to linger and play in. They keep us connected to community and nature during a time we often need it most. Here's a round up some of our favourites: www.evergreen.ca/stories/expl...
