Toronto’s New Waterfront Parkland | Canada News

Toronto just unveiled ten new acres of waterfront parkland near Cherry and Commissioners Streets — a massive leap for the east side, reconnecting residents with Lake Ontario and the Don River. Part of the $1.4 billion Port Lands Flood Protection project, this transformation turns a once-industrial, flood-prone wasteland into a thriving green hub with housing, jobs, and public space. The new park rivals the size of the Rogers Centre and is just the beginning — more green space is coming. Soon, a new island neighborhood called Ookwemin Minising will rise, designed to be sustainable and livable, housing 21,000 people and creating 3,000 jobs over 25 years. This is what happens when city, provincial, and federal governments collaborate on bold urban renewal. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
