The
Labyrinth Community Network (LCN) is a
group of volunteers who value the experience of walking
or tracing a labyrinth.
In
our modern, often chaotic culture and times the opportunity
to step into an oasis of calm is rare. Labyrinths provide
such an opportunity. Toronto Public Labyrinth is situated
in the heart of Toronto’s bustling metropolis.
The
group spearheaded the creation of Toronto
Public Labyrinth at Trinity Square Park which officially
opened September 14, 2005. LCN worked in collaboration with
the City of Toronto and The Church of the Holy Trinity on
this labyrinth and its predecessor, the grass labyrinth,
installed in July 2000.
Ontario Trillium Foundation provided major financial support.
THE LABYRINTH SOCIETY'S DVD PROJECT
A dynamic educational and marketing tool for any labyrinth enthusiast, this multi-faceted
presentation features experts from all over the world speaking about the values and benefits of labyrinths in public places including churches, prisons, hospitals, schools,
parks and
recreation areas.
Hear labyrinth historians, builders, hospital administrators, counselors, religious
officials and teachers talk about labyrinths as the center point for many activities
including employee health, creative problem solving, spiritual care and holistic healing

SHANNON'S FIREFLIES, an interactive
light and voice installation, was erected on
the Toronto Public Labyrinth at this year's
Nuit Blanche,an annual alll-night arts festival
in downtown Toronto. The piece was created
by a group of artists called Site 3, and was
composed of electrical wiring with
light/sound sensors that reacted to voices
or lights. One of many interesting exhibits
in this annual event sponsored by the
City of Toronto and Scotiabank.
