Michelle Senayah

Michelle Senayah, Founder and Executive Director of The Laneway Project sadly passed away on June 29th, 2021.

Michelle was a passionate, kind, and thoughtful placemaker who led the transformation of laneways and other public spaces across Toronto. She recognized the potential of this city's underutilized spaces and dedicated her career to creating vibrant and thriving communities. Michelle was a leader, a mentor, and a friend to so many of us in the city building community. Michelle’s passing is a tremendous loss, not only for this community, but for the city as a whole.

Both our staff and board members were devastated by this unexpected news but are determined to carry on Michelle’s legacy and The Laneway Project’s transformative work across Toronto.
