We are thrilled by Rideau Hall’s announcement on December 27, 2019 that Ken has been appointed a member of the Order of Canada.

The announcement reads: “Ken Greenberg, Toronto. For leading large scale projects in various cities across Canada as an urban designer, teacher, writer and environmental advocate.”

This honour is richly deserved. Ken’s thinking and leadership on urban issues, including his books “Walking Home” (2011) and “Toronto Reborn” (2019), have profoundly influenced us, and indeed a whole generation.

ABOUT WATERFRONT FOR ALL

Waterfront renewal continues apace, but it’s far

from complete. Progress on the waterfront needs

to be celebrated and supported by citizens,

otherwise it may lose momentum or die altogether.

From Etobicoke to Scarborough, we invite citizens

and groups from across Toronto to work together

to keep the revitalization and beautification of our

waterfront moving forward.

Please consider helping our all-volunteer grassroots efforts to bring you this Speaker Series, bring a community voice to the Toronto Waterfront, and work for an accessible, safe, and enjoyable Waterfront for All!
