Lost Rivers joined ReGgen Toronto and Water Docs on Sunday to bring Biinaagami’s giant floor map of the Great Lakes to the Brick Works.

The map...it really is giant, was a great way to experience the augmented reality (AR) storytelling hotspots that will transport you beyond the water’s edge and into its depths.
The interactive talk with Katie Doreen of Canadian Geographic and Gregary Ford of Swim Drink Fish Canada engaged us all.

An initiative of those two organizations and guided by a sharing circle of Elders, Biinaagami aims to rebuild just and healthy relations between wildlife, people and place in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence watershed.

Saturdays PATHology walk took us out of Januarys bitter cold into Toronto's warm underground 'street' grid.
Ed Freeman and John Wilson ably led our capacity group through what appeared to some us to be a confusing maze.
Stories of lost creeks, Toronto history, geology, downtown construction and shared public spaces were presented and discussed.
We walked through a vast space made less impersonal by the addition of lovely public art and architecture.
Thanks to Lost Rivers Paul Overy and Floyd Ruskin for their walk support and added insights.
