Play CNV

Help us animate the City's public spaces through placemaking.


Placemaking enables community collaboration to transform public spaces into people places. With this program we hope to connect residents though positive and fun experiences, increase the visibility of neighbourhoods, and to celebrate all that our City has to offer.

PLAY seeks to identify and empower community champions to make positive improvements to public space.

Examples of Placemaking:

  • Interactive Installations
  • Programmed activities
  • Pop up markets
  • Plaza and alley beautifications

Businesses, community groups and individuals: you're invited to ‘embrace the space’ and create dynamic public play spaces in your neighbourhood. Got an idea? Email us at play@cnv.org.
