As the sun sets on November, this sunset image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor Traycer evokes France's Mont-Saint-Michel, rising out of the tidal flats of its English Channel bay. In this case, our manufactured mountain rises from the flats east of our harbour. Currently a wide-open landscape, Waterfront Toronto is turning much of the Port Lands west of Cherry Street into a new park over the next year. Briefly known as Villiers Island, this part of the Port Lands has been renamed Ookwemin Minising which means means “the place of black cherry trees” in Anishinaabemowin/Ojibwemowin.
