The spit would be a bad place for a beach anyways, plus it is ecologically sensitive. Focusing on Cherry would make far more sense.

Join us!

Waterfront Toronto is hosting a community consultation to share information about Port Lands Flood Protection, a seven-year project that will re-naturalize the mouth of the Don River, create a new river valley through the Port Lands, a new island, and new parks, roads and bridges.

We'll collect public feedback on the design of Promontory Park and the River Valley.

Join local Councilllor Paula Fletcher (Ward 30) and project team members from Waterfront Toronto and Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates for brief presentations at 7:00 p.m. Project team members from the City of Toronto and Toronto and Region Conservation will also be there to answer your questions.

Drop-in hours from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. will give you a chance to share your ideas about how these reclaimed spaces can bring new activities and experiences to Toronto.

As part of this community consultation, please consider sharing your feedback through this brief survey called “How to Make a Great Park.”

Also, off-topic, but interesting (or something) that they've posted the agenda for the next WT DRP meeting before posting the minutes from the last, Waterfront Uninnovation Centre WT DRP meeting.

To be fair, the minutes were never consistently posted before the agenda of the following DRP. There were times when they were posted months after the DRP is completed.

Yeah, I was being (mostly) jestful; the WT site -- and particularly the document library -- is an infamously hot mess.

From today.

A little archipelago emerges from the depths.

Before you know it, we will have a land bridge to Niagara Falls.

And a one stop express subway.
