The art installation is an attempt to woo customers back to Westfield’s shops and restaurants.
“The ultimate goal of the Impulse seesaw installation is to draw people into town during a traditionally slow time of year while providing families from around the region a fun winter activity,” Bob Zuckerman, Executive Director of Downtown Westfield Corporation, said in a press release. “While residents and visitors are in town riding the seesaws, we want them to play, shop, and dine and enjoy the amazing offerings of our local businesses.”
MONTREAL A new summertime look for Montreal’s Gay Village is being hatched, with a pledge to keep eyes looking upward even without the world-famous canopy of multicoloured balls.

The exact form of the new installations is still being devised but Yannick Brouillette, Director-General of Societe de Developpement Commercial du Village, says whatever it is it will occupy some space overhead.
