This convergence of chalk and community has turned a symbol of development controversy into a beacon of civic engagement. As the Winter Solstice approaches on December 21st at 10:27 pm, thousands are expected to join in, celebrating the intersection of community, education, and public space at SwimOP's unique event.

The walls erected to keep the public out turned into a canvas for political art, with expressions of how people truly feel about giving a private company our public lands for 95 years for a luxury spa. #OntarioPlace pic.twitter.com/jPQ3laGwbb
#topoli #onpoli Anti-@ThermeCanada demonstrators found an excellent new use for those ugly hoardings around @OntarioPlace. Curious to see how much commitment @fordnation & @KingaSurmaMPP have to the free expression of dissenting opinions... Photos by Steven Evans. pic.twitter.com/xu0Iro3Wmv
