Welcome Waterfront Toronto, in collaboration with the City of Toronto and Ports Toronto, is undertaking a study to update the 2006 Marine Strategy, ensuring that a proper balance of marine uses, including commercial shipping, tour boats, recreational water-related uses and water-based transportation, is maintained as waterfront revitalization progresses. The Marine Strategy Update will revisit the 2006 Marine Strategy to prioritize implementation strategies by order of urgency with focus on advancing actions in short-term, plan for adequate location and facilities for marine uses and users, identify implementation responsibilities, partnerships and funding opportunities.
