Villiers Island: Hang on a Minute! Let’s take a second look at the plan.

Join us on Tuesday, May 21, 7 pm (Zoom) for critical and constructive panel discussion on the plan for Villiers Island.

WfA has been broadly supportive of Waterfront Toronto's work over the years, but true friends owe their friends open and constructive dialogue. So inspired by recent discussions of the recently amemded Villiers Island plan, including critical assessment by the Globe & Mail's Alex Bozikovics and a commentary by architecture and planning firm Smart Density, we felt that it was urgent to give voice to legitimate and constructive concerns about the Villiers Island Plan prior to its consideration by City Council in June.

To that end we've put together a panel of community activists, housing activists and urban planners to take a second look at the Villiers Island plan.

FEATURING:

Norm di Pasquale — City Activist (NoJetsTO, past Board of Education Trustee)
Eric Lombardi — Housing Advocate, More Neighbours Toronto
Mark Richardson — Technical Lead, HousingNowTO
Blair Scorgie — Registered Professional Planner, Urban Designer, Lecturer TMU

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.
