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.
The purpose of today’s Consultation Meeting is to introduce the Marine Strategy Update, present findings from the review of current waterfront uses, present emerging themes and opportunities, and seek feedback on the identified future marine use opportunities for Toronto’s Inner Harbour.
TONIGHT’S AGENDA PROJECT TIMELINE MEETING AGENDA Study Phase 1 Study Phase 2 Study Phase 3 6:00 – 8:30 p.m. Open House (view display boards, ask project team Summer/Fall 2019 Winter 2020 Spring 2020 members questions, Develop Implementation Plans provide comments) Analyze Marine Uses Identify + Develop future Opportunities Identify Further Directions 6:30 p.m. Presentation, followed by a Q&A session

What is the 2006 Marine Use Strategy? Why an Update?
The 2006 strategy was created to support the community of marine uses and users on the waterfront and is built around five core themes: 1. To review current trends in marine uses: 4. To align with new planning initiatives commercial and recreational boating, including: water transportation, small watercrafts, •New waterfront communities and water Recognize and expand an exceptional resource aspirations for swimming and waterplay, based recreation and transportation growing interest in shoreline natural •New public spaces along the water’s habitats edge to create new destinations and Embrace integrated and sustainable planning on the waterfront support growth in marine uses 2. To reach out to stakeholders and •On-going habitat and water quality residents at large, including First Nations improvements to make the waterfront Promote an active, diverse and accessible waterfront and urban Indigenous groups for more attractive feedback •Improve accessibility to the waterfront Plan marine districts through revitalization for residents, visitors and businesses 3. To define the vision for the waterfront through the extension of the Waterfront from marine user's perspective Trail and future waterfront transit Implement strategy through steady investment

PUBLIC CONSULTATION Marine Use Strategy Update Marine Inventory
The team, with help from our marine user groups, updated an inventory of the marine uses within the study area. The map shows a very busy waterfront, with a variety of marine uses co-existing in a unique manner. These incude: • Industrial shipping • Cruise (Great Lakes & Coastal) • Recreational (power & sail boating, canoeing & kayaking, rowing, paddle boarding) • Tour/charter boats • Water taxis • Ferry • In particular, the Inner Harbour is very busy, with significant traffic to Marine Strategy Update and Implementation Inventory

Marine Use Strategy Update Marine Use Trends
• The team looked at marine use trends of the following five groups of marine users as follows: Recreational, Charter & Tour Boats, Water Taxi’s & Ferries, Cruise and Industry. • International and local trends within each of these groups were analyzed and the outcomes were used to further define the existing and future user requirements on the waterfront.
Industrial Shipping Tour/Charter Boats
Tonnage for industrial shipping has been constant over last the 2-3 The number of tour / charter boats is expected to increase (GTA years (2.2Million), and is expected to be sustained in the years to population growth: 12% in 2025, 29% in 2035 | GTA tourism come (related to the continuation of the city’s construction boom) growth: 17% since 2013)
Cruises Water Taxis
Cruise traffic grew from 10 to17 vessels in the period between 2000- The number of water taxis is expected to increase (GTA population 2018 and saw a record doubling of a number of vessels (34 vessels) growth: 12% in 2025, 29% in 2035 | GTA tourism growth: 17% since in 2019. For the next decade, this number is expected to further 2013) increase to around 40 vessels (2028), this is mainly due to small luxury and exploration cruises (Great Lakes and some coastal)
Recreational Boating Ferries
Ferry traffic to and omfr the Toronto Islands is expected to remain Recreational boating will continue to increase (power & sail boating, consistent. If commuter ferries alongside the waterfront are canoeing & kayaking, rowing) introduced, ferry traffic is expected to increase

Common Themes Marine Use Strategy Update Three ‘Anchors’ of Marine Strategy Update
After speaking with a cross section of Toronto’s marine community on a wide range Mooring of concerns, aspirations and needs, three common Where do the boats go and questions have emerged. How do we support growth? These questions are: • Where and how do we • Dockwall space support future growth in • Docking facilities marine uses? • Storage facilities • How can people more easily • Industrial port get to, from and over the water? • Who is responsible for doing what?
The project team has grouped these questions into the three key themes – Mooring, Management Movement Movement, and Management Who does what? How do we get from land to – summarized here. Under • Dockwall ownership each theme you will find a list water, on and over the water? • Dockwall user balance of the related issues, concerns • Continuous waterfront • Safety and objectives we intend to • Water-based public • High water levels explore further through the transportation • Water quality study process. • Land based accessibility • Rules and guidelines for • Access to recreation future plan development and facilities construction • Noise disturbance • Security • Maintenance & rehabilitation

KEY HIGHLIGHTS
6 • Most locations present a blend of tour/ charter boats, water taxis and the ferry 5 • Two locations are distinctly industrial (Jarvis Street Slip and the Ship Channel) 4 • The tour/charter boats, water taxis and 7 ferries are permanently moored on the waterfront, other vessels are visiting 2 (industrial, private, tall ships, navy) 3 with varying, but increasing frequencies 1 8 • Current arrangement therefore shows a rather ‘full’ waterfront
