THE CEDARS
You're invited to join us around the Legacy Table at The Cedars.
The Legacy Project's home nestled in nature is The Cedars, in the Greater Tkaronto Bioregion (GTB), on the Oak Ridges Moraine at the headwaters of the Beaver River.
We believe in the power of place to help effect change. The Cedars is on 100 wooded acres with walking trails and fields. The land can help ground us, inspire and teach us, and spark bigger thinking as a muse, model and metaphor. In a time of uncertainty, the Cedar trees that surround the site are a symbol of resilience; trust a Cedar to find a small amount of soil in the cracks of a massive rock and flourish.
The Cedars is the central site for the GTB Bioregional Learning Center, with a network of other sites and programs across the bioregion to ripple out meaningful impact.
The Cedars, as an idea studio for the Legacy Project's work, has been inspired by the unique and intimate art studio renowned artist Doris McCarthy created at Fool's Paradise. The Cedars is a small-group gathering place for all ages and backgrounds to explore social and ecological regeneration – regenerative practices,
A key public area at The Cedars is an informal loft space with beautiful views of the surrounding rolling hills and wetlands. The loft includes a small gallery featuring the Dream Exhibit, all of the original artwork from the award-winning bestseller Dream.
The main floor meeting space is called the Natrium. Nearly two stories high, it has glass on three walls to blur the line between being outdoors and indoors. It connects visitors to the natural surroundings year-round, offering a one-of-a-kind space for workshops and discussions.
In the center of the Natrium is the Legacy Table, the heart of The Cedars. The Legacy Table, crafted from Heritage Maple, is designed to evoke both a spout of water and a tree.
At The Cedars, we've adopted a variation on the old Irish blessing, "May you always be in the right place, at the right time, with the right people, doing the right thing."
