We’re teaming up with Cloverdale Mall on a series of community engagements planned around the redevelopment of the mall by QuadReal. Our team will run a special edition of Mouse City, our popular model city-building program, as a way to gather feedback from the community on their vision for the future of Cloverdale Mall.
Mouse City Cloverdale takes place on Saturday March 9th, 11am -2pm, at the Cloverdale Common located within the mall. FREE Admission. No registration required.
During Mouse City Cloverdale, aspiring builders aged 4 to 12 will construct a model neighbourhood on the site of Cloverdale Mall using recyclable materials to create the buildings and public spaces they wish to see in their city. Participants will also have the opportunity to act as reporters for the Mouse City Times, writing and drawing stories about what they think life in the new community might be like.
Ideas and opinions generated from the event will be prepared in a report by Small Print Toronto and delivered to QuadReal to assist them in the redevelopment process.
