Some ideas…

The Toronto Music Garden can be appreciated on many levels - as a garden infused with the spirit of music, dance and artistic genius, as a public place for young and old alike to enjoy and learn, and as a meditative space to sit and quietly ponder nature. It is a symbol of Toronto's participation in the international community, and a place for everyone to enjoy. [] (Good website to search for history. I found it interesting that there is a list of all plants!)

[] I like how the author of the article expresses feelings…"Toronto’s waterfront is a welcoming refuge from the dry air and cement that characterizes the rest of the city". At the end of the article someone comments that the re is a good documentary on the garden’s move to Toronto in the Yo-Yo Ma Bach series. Might be useful to watch?

I thought that it might be helpful to look at issues that the waterfront is facing:

** Voices: Waterfront condos -** [] Read peoples opinion about the topic -  it is time to stop building condos on the waterfront. ** The best of urban living ** [] Toronto 's story will be told by preserving the waterfront's cultural and natural heritage in the development of new private and public spaces.  [] Waterfront Toronto presented plans how Queens Quay will be turned into a grand lakefront boulevard by placing streetcar lanes in the centre, traffic only on the north side and a pedestrian focused space on the south side. The detailed design work to be complete in spring 2010.
