Toronto will mark the third anniversary of the start of the COVID-19 pandemic with a commemorative gathering and a 24-hour interactive public art installation called The Burn at Nathan Phillip Square this weekend.
The event will get underway at sunset on Saturday and will include an Indigenous welcome, an ancestral acknowledgement, a moment of silence to acknowledge friends and loved ones lost, and a special appearance by Juno award-winning singer-songwriter Jully Black. It will also feature a water-themed “Integration Zone” in the City Hall Rotunda featuring 24 hours of wellness programming like sound baths, meditation, and movement.
Accredited mental health and grief counselling professionals along with community specialists will be on hand to provide support. “The Burn has already been a deeply impactful public art experience as it has travelled across the city. The Commemorative gathering will be a wonderful culmination of this work, and I encourage residents to take part in this unique opportunity to collectively reflect and heal from the impacts of the pandemic,” Don Valley North Coun. Shelley Carroll, the chair of the city’s Economic and Community Development Committee, said in a release.
