Giant seashell features in Toronto s delayed Winter Stations 2021
Four pavilions including a giant seashell and a colourful archway have opened in Toronto as part of the coronavirus-delayed annual Winter Stations event.
Opening late due to delays caused by a coronavirus lockdown, the Winter Stations have been built in the city rather than the usual spot of Woodbine Beach on Lake Ontario.
Four competition-winning designs have been realised around the theme of Refuge for this year s event.

Now, in an effort to bring some version of the festival to the public in 2021, Winter Stations has announced a new, modified spring schedule that includes stopping in different locations for a special and warmer edition of the exhibition. The Beach will always be our home and we have every intention of returning on Family Day in 2022, the organizers said in a statement.
