Waterfront Toronto

Waterfront Toronto: But before setting off again on the final half of its 25-year journey, Waterfront Toronto needs a major retrofit. Indeed, its remarkable this organization came as far as it did lacking the power to conduct even elementary business functions, such as taking out a loan, according to The Star. Look at the string of parks and public places that now adorn the shoreline, like Sugar Beach and the Sherbourne Common. Consider George Brown Colleges $85-million health sciences campus, bringing thousands of students and jobs to the waterfront. Dont forget the vast construction underway in the West Don Lands, including an $814-million residential complex that will serve as the athletes village during the 2015 Pan American Games. And thats just part of whats going on and There was a time when Waterfront Toronto officials described their agency as a submarine steadily moving forward but without much showing on the surface. Now, staying with the nautical theme, its more fitting to consider it a cargo ship pulling into port with an impressive load of jobs, economic spinoffs and construction. Even the most obstinate waterfront skeptic ahoy there, Councillor Doug Ford cant credibly claim that the agency has been a do-nothing boondoggle. Evidence to the contrary is there for all to see .
