In January 2021, the president of the Queens Park Residents Association approached City Council to ask about a newly installed chain-link fence, stating “I, like most of the directors on the QPRA, thought that chain-link fences were simply a non-starter.”
This collection of photographs was taken in the Queens Park neighbourhood to demonstrate that chain-link fences are widespread throughout and represent design elements that are, in fact, traditional and appropriate for the neighbourhood.
