Homeless possessions at Loring and Wyle Parkette
Toronto’s 21st Century park encampment phenomenon came with a pleasant reminder late Saturday of two Moore Park women who definitely made their way in life. Toronto Fire Service was called to the Frances Loring and Florence Wyle Parkette about 10.30 p.m. for an encampment fire. There among the exquisite works of the two sculptures were the possessions of a homeless soul. The fire wasn’t serious. And who knows what, if anything, your average park dweller thinks about Florence Wyle’s rendering of a manly war worker grabbing a gulp of water in grim working conditions so unlike the pleasant little parkette at the corner of St. Clair Ave and Mt. Pleasant Rd.
