Plus an update on the Island Airport RESA process: including a little unboxing of the recent City Council decision.
Some Toronto Harbour dock walls are collapsing. Many have decrepit, unusable safety ladders, or none at all. Yet the water can be cold enough to kill you, and the dock walls are high and unclimbable. WFA Chair Ed Hore recently did a Report on the condition of the dock walls, pointing out the worst spots, with photos taken from his kayak. An Appendix has pictures of all the harbour dock walls.

Many people were upset when Harbourfront's beloved skating rink by the lake was unexpectedly dismantled and taken away in 2023 due to lack of funds. Waterfront for All and two neighbourhood residents' associations objected.
The rink was a big wintertime draw for the waterfront. Its sudden removal seemed symptomatic of a general decline of Harbourfront Centre.
Thanks to Councillor's Ausma Malik's successful motion in City Council on October 10, 2024, there will be a seasonal rink set up this winter at Harbourfront.
There's also a vibrant new CEO at Harbourfront, Cathy Loblaw, and we welcome her!
