Michener Square, Toronto, Canada, 2024[open in full screen]  

 
  < Previous Ontario & Canada Square, Toronto,

Let’s call this unnamed little Urban Corner located on the intersection of McCaul and Elm Streets in Toronto Michener Square. What do you think? It is in the so-called “Discovery District".

Two nice sculptures are located here, unfortunately, we don’t know who the authors are. We are explorers, so we'll keep looking.

  For this Sundial Like one, we know that it was unveiled by the Right Honorable Roland Michener, governor-general of Canada, on the occasion of the opening of the Toronto Institute of Medical Technology, on November 18, 1972.

We think that this pretty nice urban space was created at the same time. It is used mainly during lunchtime and as a passage to the Institute building. I used it while waiting for my appointment at the Princess Margaret Hospital, but Mount Sinai Hospital is even closer.

  The Michener Institute of Education at UHN, initially known as the Toronto Institute of Medical Technology and later The Michener Institute of Applied Health Sciences, was created in response to the educational requirements of health sciences professionals and to the continuing education needs of health care practitioners.
