Toronto’s waterfront is more than our city’s edge along Lake Ontario – it’s a destination and second neighbourhood for every Torontonian to enjoy. We've come a long way in revitalizing our waterfront, but much more work lies ahead.

That’s why over 20 organizations have come together to form Waterfront for All – as a new citizens group for everyone interested in the future of Toronto's waterfront. We need your help to grow - from Etobicoke to Scarborough, from North York to the islands. Whether as a resident or as a group, everyone is invited to join.

News & Media

We were happy to see some positive coverage from Spacing Magazine, on the role we played, in fact the role all of our members and friends played, inlcuding NoJetsTO and Environmental Defence, in our collective victory this past summer over Premier Ford's proposal for jet expansion at Billy Bishop Toronto Centre Airport. 

Waterfront for All is a nonprofit dedicated to enhancing Toronto's waterfront in an environmentally sustainable way for housing, recreation, culture, and public enjoyment. A coalition of 15 advocacy groups, it won a major victory in July 2026 when Steven MacKinnon, federal minister of Transport, declared a pause "at this stage" on the expansion of Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. He acknowledged the opposition of 87% of 87,000 folks who participated in a federal survey on a proposal to allow jets to fly out of Billy Bishop Airport. - Ian Darragh, “Activists Ground Jets,” Spacing, Issue 76 (2026), p. 30
