For time immemorial, long before Children’s Peace Theatre and the Massey Goulding Estate in which it operates were even dreamed of, there existed the sacred land and the ancestors of the original people. Tkaronto, “where the trees stand in water,” is a part of the traditional territory of many nations: the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee, the Wendat, and the Mississaugas of the New Credit. This land is subject to the Dish with One Spoon wampum belt covenant, an agreement between the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and a confederacy of Anishinabek and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes.
Children's Peace Theatre is located at the Massey Goulding Estate, a 5000 square foot heritage home in Taylor Creek Park in Toronto’s east end. With its peaceful, serene setting it reminds us that Toronto really is a city within a park! There is a natural amphitheatre on the property with seating for 200+, a lovely meadow and forest trails.
To support our mandate and community programming, CPT builds relationships with renters who would like to use the house and grounds for retreats, meetings, workshops and events. In keeping with our intention to honour the land and the ancestors, we invite our space to be used for community development and artistic work that is grounded in sacred practices and closely related to our mission.
