Toronto, meet YZD. A tribute to our past, a promise for our future.

Every great place starts with a little imagination.

This Halloween, we’re looking back at the characters, magical moments and playful experiences that have brought YZD to life. From movie magic to unexpected adventures, The Runway has become a place to play, get creative and let your imagination run wild.

As we imagine the future of YZD, we’re inspired by the people who continue to make this place their own. Every visit brings new possibilities, reminding us that building a vibrant community starts with creating space for people to play, connect and bring their ideas to life today.

Happy Halloween from YZD! 👻

Today, we honour the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and hold space for reflection, learning and listening. One year ago, Northcrest launched its Indigenous Reconciliation Action Plan, formalizing a commitement to advance reconciliation through our work at YZD. While reconciliation is an everyday ongoing journey, we are grateful for the Indigenous partners, artists, advisors and communities, whose knowledge and guidance continue to shape this place.

Throughout YZD, visitors can experience works by Indigenous artists including these works depicted here, by Philip Cote, Cathie Jamieson, August Swinson and others. These works invite us to slow down, reflect the histories that shape this land, and consider our role in building a more understanding and respectful future.

Swipe for each artwork, and visit the link to read the reconciliation plan report.

Through an adopted lens, YZD looked a little different. 📸

Led by photographer BRYAN BROCK, this year’s Adopted Lens Photo Walk invited participants to explore the site through creative prompts, unique perspectives, and moments of discovery. Thank you to Bryan and the creative community who continue to help imagine what YZD can become, while capturing the stories, spaces, and opportunities taking shape today.

Some stories of YZD are found in the details.

Originally located in Hangar 4, this stainless-steel WashStation served the aircraft assembly workers who helped keep the site in motion. Known as “The Bradley,” its circular design allowed many workers to wash their hands at the same time, supporting the fast pace of aircraft production.

Today, this piece has been given new purpose as part of the irrigation system that helps keep the YZD Plaza growing.

Every preserved element tells part of the story, carrying the past forward as YZD continues to evolve.

Come discover a piece of YZD’s history in the Plaza.
