Flood protection essential to waterfront redevelopment and revitalization

Today in the Port Lands, Waterfront Toronto and all three orders of government took another important step for waterfront revitalization by breaking ground on a new river valley as part of the Port Lands Flood Protection project, one of the most ambitious construction projects in Toronto's history.

Today, Waterfront Toronto released its 2015-2017 Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability Report. This update to the previous report highlights the progress that we have made in achieving economic, social and environmental goals, along with many of our future targets.

Once completed in 2024, Port Lands Flood Protection will create a new mouth for the Don River, river valley, parkland and natural habitat. The new 1,000-metre river valley will run through the Port Lands, south of the existing Shipping Channel, creating a new island, which we’re calling Villiers Island.    

Earlier this year, Waterfront Toronto issued a Call for New Members to join our Waterfront Design Review Panel.
