The Cittizen Pin (extra “t” for Toronto) is a line of laser-cut and hand dremmeld pins that are designed to represent different neighbourhoods within Toronto. Each citizen of Toronto has the opportunity to proudly represent the neighborhood they are a part of by wearing the corresponding pin. Encountering others wearing the same pin creates an opportunity to feel connection and community between one another. The neighborhoods are represented by different elements in those neighborhoods such as bike paths, points of interest or green spaces, shown graphically as elevated surface areas on the face of the pin.
