Harbourfront Rink Reborn

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!

The Cost of Uncertainty

Don’t miss Ken Greenberg’s opinion piece in the Toronto Star, July 8, 2026; if the Federal government delays quashing the BBTCA jets proposal, the resulting uncertainty will hurt the multi-billion Toronto Waterfront revitalization project because key investments won’t happen.
