Memorium

February 3, 2022 The Laneway Project

Michelle Senayah, Founder and Executive Director of The Laneway Project sadly passed away on June 29th, 2021.

Michelle was a passionate, kind, and thoughtful placemaker who led the transformation of laneways and other public spaces across Toronto. She recognized the potential of this city's underutilized spaces and dedicated her career to creating vibrant and thriving communities. Michelle was a leader, a mentor, and a friend to so many of us in the city building community. Michelle’s passing is a tremendous loss, not only for this community, but for the city as a whole.

Both our staff and board members were devastated by this unexpected news but are determined to carry on Michelle’s legacy and The Laneway Project’s transformative work across Toronto. 

As we know, there is still more work to be done and we will continue to honour and carry forward Michelle’s work for years to come.

If you have any questions, please reach out to us at info@thelanewayproject.ca.

In community,

The Laneway Project staff and board members

We humbly recognize that the land now called Toronto is the traditional territory of many Indigenous nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples. This land continues to be home to diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, whose presence and contributions are vital to our shared community. As we walk these urban paths, we honour the relationship between Indigenous peoples and these lands, and strive to uphold our responsibilities as treaty people. As we explore the potential of Toronto's laneways, we're reminded of the ancient pathways created by Indigenous peoples, connecting communities long before our city existed. Recognizing that our modern urban passages echo the vital connections forged by those who came before us.
