Grange Park Promenade - Toronto

One of Grange Park’s special features is a series of 14 quotations inscribed in paving stones along the promenade leading into the park from Stephanie Street. The quotations are from a selection of Canadian or Canada-based personalities relating to the theme of nature or to the diversity of our community.   As part of the Grange Park revitalization project, the local community submitted proposed quotations and then voted on the final selection. The words of these authors, poets and civic minded activists reflect the history and diversity within our community and are now permanently included in this park: "Live with me on Earth among red berries and the bluebirds and leafy young twigs whispering." – Milton Acorn, Live with Me on Earth Under the Invisible Daylight Moon, Dig Up my Heart: Selected Poems "In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt." – Margaret Atwood, Bluebeard’s Egg
