Where City of Toronto’s Southern surfaces meet the northwestern shore of Great Lake Ontario— We constantly hear hundreds and thousands of cars along the lakeshore and the Gardiner express highway. Along the water there are boats and airplanes. There are massive exhibition event centres that fill the sky with noise year-round: Fireworks, Air Show, festivals, and concerts. Human festivities are loud, overwhelming, and scary.

Walk with Therese Cutknife and Emily Jung during this mobile theatre workshop, as they explore what being in solidarity with water means to Toronto’s humans in 2026. We will walk along Lake Ontario with our fish, reflecting on the lost waterways of Toronto, and the way all living things depend on water. We will imagine the rising water levels in our future and the impending tragedies caused by the lack of freshwater.

The purpose of this iteration of the workshop will be to raise awareness about the Grassy Narrows River Run. We will also take the fish to the River Run on September 23, 2026. Learn more at freegrassy.net/take-action/.
