Urbanist Ken Greenberg and Amsterdam city planner and architect Ton Schaap kicked off our Waterfront for All Speaker Series on March 10, 2021. Both speakers gave us extraordinary insights into the possibilities of reusing and repurposing Objects Trouvé, i.e. existing buildings and structures, to revitalise urban waterfronts. We expect to host engaging speakers about every two months. Stay tuned.

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.
