University Avenue, Toronto

Outside Mt. Sinai Hospital. The sculpture on the right is Piéton by Sorel Etrog. The uncredited sculpture on the left is an acknowledgement of everyone who has participated in Princess Margaret Cancer Centre's Weekend to End Breast Cancer campaigns.

Inside Mt. Sinai is a gallery of around 100 Etrog sculptures and paintings, the Hennick Family Wellness Gallery, which is intended as a place of respite for patients and staff.

The PiP at upper left has another Etrog in it. Etrog was very popular in Toronto in his day, and you keep bumping into pieces by him all over.

Fine shot and interesting notes, except that I see a pet hate of mine, that non-word 'wellness'. It's just not English! it originated in Germany in the 80s when it was invented by a Spa town tourist board to try and sound more international and it got adopted by a US insurance company who thought it sounded 'sophisticated' and then every health clinic under the sun thought it sounded just the ticket and it spread like wildfire all round the world. I hate it.
The word is 'health' and, if necessary to qualify it, 'good' or 'bad health'.
Sorry about that!
I get cross when my students use the word but I can't really blame them!
I'm relaxed about most other changes to the language as I know languages constantly evolve, regardless of what the Instituto Cervantes in Madrid or The French lot try and do to try and preserve their 'classic' languages in aspic!

It seems it's taken me two years to notice your comment, Andy. I apologize for my inattention. I suppose using "health" for "wellness" might have caused legal problems. "Lounge", however, seems a more accurate description.

They have good wifi, though, Léo, so the time flies by.
