Toronto's waterfront is our front porch to the world. With the right kind of investment, the waterfront will become a necklace of green, with pearls of activity; people living, working and enjoying it with pride and passion.
The new Toronto waterfront will offer the quiet joy of strolling along miles of wetlands, parks, boardwalks, promenades and heritage foot trails. It will offer the excitement of arts festivals, bike and boat races and activity-filled public squares.
All this activity will create the synergies needed to draw even more jobs and investment to Toronto. Toronto's quality of life may be our greatest competitive attraction. Our new waterfront will be a model of how economic development, environmental protection, and cultural and recreational growth can go hand in hand, each complementing the other.
Toronto's waterfront will become a magnet to tourism and will make Ontarians proud of their capital.
