A common misconception among Torontonians is that our lakefront is seriously polluted, and that you would be foolish to swim at a Toronto beach or eat fish caught from its shores. In reality, 30 years of remediation, restoration and revitalization have improved water quality, restored habitats for fish and wildlife, decreased contamination of sediments, and enhanced waterfront access.
