Scarborough Bluffs West Project
The Scarborough Bluffs West Project is major initiative from the Toronto Region Conservation Authority and the City of Toronto on a key section of our waterfront. It follows the Scarborough Waterfront Project on the eastern section of the Bluffs (from Bluffers Beach to East Point Park), that is currently in its implementation phase.
The Scarborough Bluffs West Project Environmental Assent will explore enhancing and protecting the sensitive shoreline and the Bluffs from erosion, as well as opportunities for improved waterfront experience and trail access between the Eastern Beaches (Silver Birch Avenue) and Bluffer’s Park along Lake Ontario.
Visit the link for detailed consultation materials and to complete a survey on the project (deadline: June 30 2026).

East-West Seabus Trial
Waterfront Toronto has just launched a new east-west water shuttle pilot. [https://www.waterfrontoronto.ca/news/charting-new-waters-launching-new-east-west-water-shuttle-pilot]. This pilot initiative arises as a recommendation of the Seabus Feasibility Study and Waterfront Toronto’s 2020 Marine Use Strategy Report and initially will run from Portland Slip in the Ookwemin Minising in the east.

Humber Bay Revitalization
The City of Toronto is developing its Western Beaches Public Realm Plan. The Western Beaches comprises a four-kilometre stretch of waterfront, parks and trails, and communities between the mouth of the Humber River and the eastern edge of Marilyn Bell Park. The Plan Update will provide a renewed vision for the Western Beaches, including recommendations and priorities for improvements, that reflects the changing conditions, current priorities and community needs since the Western Waterfront Master Plan was completed in 2009.
The final Western Beaches Public Realm Plan Update will be presented to City Council at the June 24-27 session.
