Let's Go To The Ex!
Join us December 9th at 7 pm on Zoom, as we welcome Don Boyle the CEO of Exhibition Place as he speaks to us about new plans and program ideas for our historic waterfront venue and fairground.
On December 22, 2020, the fences came down around Phase 1 of the Bathurst Quay Neighbourhood Revitalization project, at the east end of the Western Gap. This is a great urban revitalization project run by Bryan Bowen, Waterfront Secretariat, City of Toronto.
Next year, work will start on a beautiful public realm space beside the malting towers.
There’s a great view of the City and harbour from the new lake-side promenade. Go have a look!

Toronto has always been a waterfront town, intimately connected to its spectacular Island retreat.
For nearly 200 years ferries have been integral to that connection. Ron will survey Toronto's fascinating story of ferries, past, present, and future, the romance of excursions across the harbour, and yes, also some frustrations, failures and small triumphs.

Native seeds buried under eight metres of soil when the foot of the Don was a marsh long ago are coming back to life at Biidaasige Park. Excavation and construction for the new park exposed ancient seeds to water and sun; they woke up and started growing again.
We learned about this amazing rebirth of native plants at our October 26, 2025 Walk/Talk led by David Stonehouse of the Waterfront Secretariat, with special guests forestry expert Steve Smith of Urban Forest Associates and landscape architect Netami Stuart of Toronto Parks and Recreation. The weather was perfect. It was a great day. Many thanks to our expert speakers, and to the many people that joined us for a scenic Sunday stroll.
