The lower escarpment rail trail at dusk. The trail is lined with candles in white bags.

Fireflies in the Forest

On the evening of the first Saturday in June, as part of 100in1 Day, we gently illuminate the Lower Escarpment Rail Trail between Wentworth Street and Corktown Park.
Some day we hope to reach all the way to Albion Falls. We'll need a lot of candles. And a lot of volunteers.

Stop and Smell the Flowers

Picture
Also part of 100in1 Day, we transform stop signs into flowers, in hopes that drivers will stop a moment.
Let us know if you would like a sign in your neighbourhood.

Adding colour to the built environment.
In this case, green for St Patrick's Day.
​We also lit up under the Clairmont Access for the 2017 Winter Solstice Celebration. We're hoping to one day be able to do it again.





​DeLight at Carter Park

In June 2019 we illuminated the Carter Park gazebo. A collaboration with Hamilton Dialogues in celebration of Pride Hamilton and Hamilton Arts week.

The lit in rainbow colours. Each pillar is a different colour.

Sometimes people ask us to crochet things for them.
​Sometimes we crochet things without being asked.
