Capital Peer Review Panel
The Waterfront Toronto Capital Peer Review Panel (the Panel) was formed in 2018 as an independent body to help guide the revitalization of Toronto’s waterfront.
The Panel's mandate is to provide objective, professional advice to Waterfront Toronto’s management team on capital project execution matters for proposed development within the Designated Waterfront Area. The role of the Panel is to support the highest quality construction and city-building outcomes for the citizens of Toronto.
Members of the Panel are drawn from leaders among Canadian institutional, governmental, private sector (e.g. construction, consulting), educational, engineering and environmental professions. The unprecedented uniqueness and complexity of Waterfront Toronto’s projects may also necessitate engagement of global leaders with construction, flood protection and environmental expertise.
