The Bentway works to ignite the urban imagination, using the city as site, subject, and canvas. Anchored under Toronto’s Gardiner Expressway and guiding its complex future, The Bentway is a growing public space and much more. The Bentway is a new type of civic organization: a not-for-profit, powered by vital partnerships with the City of Toronto, residents, supporters, artists, city-builders, and dreamers. The Bentway is a catalyst rooted in experimentation, leading a creative movement to re-imagine the opportunities of urban spaces. Phase 1 of The Bentway opened in 2018 and is already a vital public space, park, cultural platform, connector for the western Waterfront corridor, and a vibrant demonstration of what is possible.
Bow Bridge was engaged by The Bentway in 2021-2023 to raise awareness of the organization nationally and internationally and advise as communications counsel.
