research by ordinary people that is disciplined, critical, well-documented and public

Our Activities

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. The primary focus of activity is in the City of Toronto. CELOS currently engages in three main types of activities: literature research, practical research, and documenting the results.
