Near the Don River in central Toronto, a new building rises with unusual grace. The new home of Anishnawbe Health Toronto (AHT) does not assert itself with height or flash. It invites – with curves, with textures, with sound.Its outer skin is clad in aluminum panels, each perforated with a flowing pattern inspired by ceremonial shawls. The panels curve gently around the structure, lined by a fringe of stainless-steel beads that tremble in the wind. The beads catch the light and make a quiet, persistent music.

Some time in late May, a young male grizzly made an improbable journey to Texada Island, one of the few rural communities in British Columbia that is considered bear-free. His most likely path involved a challenging but not impossible swim of about five kilometres across the Malaspina Strait from the mainland. The bear who has been dubbed “Tex” is believed to be four years old – a teenager who would have been chased from his home by bigger grizzlies, including his mother.
