Spanning two decades, waterfront revitalization has been an overwhelming success. Through $2.75 billion of up-front government investment and a tri-government approach led by Waterfront Toronto, waterfront revitalization demonstrates the importance of a forward-thinking vision for Toronto’s waterfront.
Through the construction of complete communities and public realm improvements, Toronto’s downtown waterfront has been physically transformed to bring significant economic, social and environmental outcomes to residents and businesses.
However, the task is far from complete. In response to City Council direction, City staff are reflecting on previous efforts and engaging in a public consultation and stakeholder engagement process to refresh the vision for waterfront revitalization. While the original vision for Toronto’s downtown waterfront and several precinct plans and frameworks remain relevant, significant time has passed and it could be updated to reflect today’s priorities such as:
- Indigenous reconciliation and engagement;
- Building back stronger through strategic economic development investments;
- Equity and inclusion, including through housing;
- Climate resilience and sustainability.
There is the opportunity to advance these opportunities beyond Toronto’s central waterfront – to the wider waterfront, from Etobicoke to Scarborough.
Public Consultation
A longstanding history of public consultation has informed waterfront revitalization policy and project priorities. The City, with support from its waterfront and government partners, is undertaking a virtual public consultation and stakeholder engagement process to gather public input on a renewed vision.
There will be three virtual public meetings held in February and March:
Meeting #1: Tuesday February 22, 2022

These virtual public meetings will present an update on the waterfront revitalization and will include opportunity to gather your feedback. All three meetings will have the same content and format, with a presentation followed by a workshop.
