Mabelle Park is the first park of its kind in Canada, designed to respond to the unique needs and desires of residents living together in a high density, low-income tower community. Join us to hear from Founder and Executive Director, Leah Houston, to learn about how Mabelle Arts is charting a new course for park use and redefining the role of public space in low-income communities.
