Totem Pole

Tuck this one into your next east-end park walk — a hand-crafted totem pole standing quietly in a Scarborough green space, donated by local artist Bert Small to mark Canada's 1967 centennial. Modelled after a piece in the Royal Ontario Museum's collection, it's a thoughtful tribute to Indigenous artistry and a surprisingly moving find in the middle of an otherwise everyday park. Bring curiosity and maybe a camera; this one's worth lingering over. Perfect for after work — drop in solo or bring a friend. No experience necessary.
