In 2019, the City of Burlington will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the twinning with sister city Itabashi, Japan.
A Japanese garden, designed by Virginia Burt Designs, will be constructed in the courtyard area behind Tansley Woods Community Centre. The construction will begin in the fall 2018 with completion in early Spring 2019.
The design was inspired by gardens of the Itabashi area and local Burlington landscape including the escarpment and local flora.
