The Ottawa Children's Garden has been developed and is operated through community volunteer efforts and partnerships, under the leadership of Sustainable Living Ottawa East. Children were engaged in the design of the project from the very beginning, and now come to the garden to plant, play and learn about organic food-growing and ecological landscaping.

As socially-conscious artists, our objective for the “Transition” Mural was to present a visual interpretation of a more idealized urban environment: a city without dependence on environmentally-destructive fossil fuels to meet our energy needs, and good health and spiritual prosperity for all its inhabitants.

The North Vancouver City Library is a landmark building servicing a growing community. The library and surrounding plaza provides a community meeting place and generates urban vitality that compliments the surrounding business district and City Hall.

The distribution of program space within the library creates superb study spaces overlooking either the Civic Plaza or the Courtyard with unparalleled mountain views.

Canada's Sugar Beach is a whimsical park resulting from the transformation of a surface parking lot into Toronto's second urban beach along the water's edge. Sugar Beach is three parks in one - an urban beach, a plaza next to a studio performance stage, and a tree-lined promenade - united by a singular reference to the sugar refinery across the slip.

Located on the ends of Piers 1 and 3 on the Thunder Bay Waterfront, Jiigew [By the Water] forms a pair of sculptures 70-feet high. They act as beacons overlooking Lake Superior at the water gateway to the city. Through its shape, proportions and luminous qualities, Jiigew celebrates the history and identity of Thunder Bay by evoking shipbuilding, lightning and thunder. Each of the beacons relays a poem-story using an array of lights in Morse Code. An audio track is heard as a whisper reciting the poem in both Annishinabe and English.
