<\/a><\/p>\n On Wednesday, June 24th ERA joined hundreds of friends and community members at the East Scarborough Storefront to celebrate the launch of two new landscape features: the Sky-o-swale shade-water structure, and the MLSE\/Jumpstart Sports Court.<\/p>\n The accomplishment of these two new site features is the result of a great collaborative design-build effort between the Storefront, the community of Kingston-Galloway-Orton Park, many volunteers and financial supporters, and a professional design team including ERA Architects, Sustainable.TO<\/a>, Blackwell<\/a>, Patriot Engineering<\/a>,\u00a0Architext<\/a>, AtomsEco<\/a>, Direct Construction<\/a>, Under Construction, and Tensile Integrity<\/a>.<\/p>\n Present on Wednesday were hundreds of community members, young and old, exploring the new designs and enjoying very good weather despite the forecast of rain. Members of the Toronto Raptors (including their mascot, \u201cRaptor\u201d) and Toronto FC were on site running basketball and soccer clinics. Children played ball games\u00a0and danced as\u00a0the\u00a0DJ spun tunes; the smell of\u00a0BBQ wafted through the air.<\/p>\n
