Eh Frame

A social space to alleviate the isolation of winter life in our cities.

Working with students from the Core Neighbourhood Youth Coop (CNYC), this community social space called ‘Eh Frame’ was intended to help alleviate the isolation of winter life.

This design-build installation as part of the City of Saskatoon’s Wintercity Initiative with funding through the Wintercity Micro Grant Program, included an A-frame pergola along with playful lighting and furniture in an empty and unused space adjacent to Oxbow’s Saskatoon office along 20th Street. The intention is to create a space of interest that draws people off the street to hang out in the space and enjoy spending time in a free and safe outdoor place.
