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!

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.
