A new piece of public art is coming to the heart of the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre. Located near the intersection of Highway 7 and Jane Street, this piece will tell a story of transformation and speak to the unique identity and history of the Expo City neighbourhood. The artwork will be at CG Tower, the fifth and final element of Expo City by Cortel Group. The site overlooks Edgeley Pond and Park and provides an exceptional opportunity to elevate the public realm at a gateway entrance to the largest urban park for the new downtown. Stay tuned as this story unfolds!
