The toboggans won’t run
A few months ago, Douglas Coupland popped up in the news when it was reported that he was planning to incorporate “the world’s biggest toboggan run” into the plans for a park that he and an architect were designing for Concord CityPlace, a downtown Toronto development. Well, now that the plans are a bit closer to fruition, it seems that the massive toboggan run is a no-go. Susan Kirwin of the National Post writes: “There will definitely be a place for tobogganing, Mr. [Alan] Vihant [vice-president of development for CityPlace] said, though Mr. Coupland’s earlier vision of ‘the world’s biggest toboggan run’ might not happen.” Instead, the primary feature of the new eight-acre park will be a one-mile running track devoted to the memory of Terry Fox.
