As our vision of re-making Toronto's waterfront unfolds over the next ten years, it will be guided by a number of principles. These principles will ensure that our Toronto waterfront:

  • is an environmentally-friendly area that nurtures wildlife, restores and creates natural habitats, and provides water that is clean and healthy;
  • is easy to get to and easy to get around — by public transit, ferry, water taxi, bicycle and foot;
  • restores the link between the city and its lake across its 46 kilometres;
  • is known for its distinctive beauty, blending green lands, public places, historical sites, commercial and recreation facilities, residential areas and public art;
  • offers a wide variety of activities and facilities that complement each other and work together;
  • boosts Toronto's tourism infrastructure and its reputation as a tourist destination;
  • sparks greater economic development, attracting new investment and creating jobs;
  • is financially viable; and
  • involves a high level of public participation in making decisions.
