The Spirit Garden project responds in part to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of nada ll to Action 82, for governments to commission and install a Residential Schools Monument in each pital city to honour residential school survivors, and all the children lost to their families and communities. Nathan Phillips Square was selected as a publicly accessible, highly visible lotion to celebrate the resilience of survivors and their families with space for teaching, learning, sharing and healing. Loted in the heart of downtown Toronto, this transformation integrates Indigenous culture, symbols and plantings within nada’s largest urban centre. With pedestrian linkages to City Hall, Osgoode Hall, and Queen Street West, the site is positioned to impact millions of visitors.
