The Centre for Local Research into Public Space (CELOS - pronounced "see-loss") is a non-profit organization with charitable status, which works in the area of public urban space, mainly (but not only) parks. This is who we are and what we do.
Current news
The September 2018 newsletter for Dufferin Grove Park is online here. If the rink and clubhouse reconstruction goes ahead, many of the existing park programs will be disappear for at least one, maybe 2 years, or even longer. What will come back?
On Sunday September 30, at 4 p.m., 120 people squeezed into the rink clubhouse and showed their support for working out a governance change for the park -- the question was:
Should Dufferin Grove Park become a city/community partnership conservancy?
Much of what makes Dufferin Grove a well-loved park was developed during a close partnership between park neighbours and the city’s local park staff between 1993 and 2012.
