Hidden Gems Toronto
Welcome to the Hidden Gems Toronto podcast. After retiring from a career in Communications, Tom and Sharon Scanlan wanted to give back to the city they love. Now in its fourth season, they continue their quest to shine a light on fascinating people and places that fly under the radar but are a vital part of our city's fabric.

PAINTING THE TOWN RED (And Green, and Blue and Purple....)
StreetARToronto has turned our urban neighbourhoods into an outdoor art gallery. Initiated 10 yours ago as a plan to reduce graffiti vandalism, the program has engaged artists to change thousands of drab buildings, underpasses and traffic-signal boxes into vibrant colourful street art. Toronto is now a world leader in this work. And as project manager
Catherine Campbell explains, the process working with artists is just as important as the final results.
