Exhibition Place Master Plan – Phase 1 Proposals Report
Acknowledgments The site of Exhibition Place has had a long tradition as a gathering place. Given its location on the water, these lands would have attracted Indigenous populations before recorded history. We acknowledge that the land occupied by Exhibition Place is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands. Figure 1.

Sec 2-Core Circle
TRANSFORMATIVE IDEA 1. THE CORE CIRCLE Re-imagine the valleys, bluffs and islands encircling the Downtown as a fully interconnected 900-hectare immersive landscape system THE CORE CIRLE 30 THE CORE CIRLE PUBLIC WORK 31 TRANSFORMATIVE IDEA 1. THE CORE CIRCLE N The Core Circle re-imagines the valleys, bluffs and islands E encircling the Downtown as a fully connected 900-hectare immersive landscape system W S The Core Circle seeks to improve and offer opportunities to reconnect the urban fabric of the Downtown to its surrounding natural features using the streets, parks and open spaces found around the natural setting of Downtown Toronto including the Don River Valley and ravines, Lake Ontario, the Toronto Islands, Garrison Creek and the Lake Iroquois shoreline. Connecting these large landscape features North: Davenport Road Bluff, Toronto, Canada will create a continuous circular network of open spaces surrounding the Downtown, accessible from both the core and the broader city. The Core Circle re- imagines the Downtown’s framework of valleys, bluffs and islands as a connected 900-hectare landscape system and immersive experience, building on Toronto’s strong identity as a ‘city within a park’ and providing opportunities to acknowledge our natural setting and connect to the history of our natural landscapes. East: Don River Valley Ravine and Rosedale Valley Ravine, Toronto, Canada Historically, the natural landscape features that form the Core Circle were used by Indigenous peoples as village sites, travelling routes and hunting and gathering lands. They are regarded as sacred landscapes and places for spiritual renewal. The Core Circle seeks to re-establish our connection to these landscapes. -

Announced last year, the Project has been made possible by a $25 million donation from the Judy and Wilmot Matthews Foundation (the "Donor"). To date, the City has received $3 million, with the balance of funding to be provided once Council approves a governance and funding model satisfactory to the City, Donor and Waterfront Toronto, the parties to the Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") for the Project. The full vision for the Project involves the transformation of a 10-acre, 1.75-kilometre linear area beneath the elevated Gardiner Expressway into a new east-west multi-use trail and network of public amenities extending from west of Strachan Avenue to Spadina Avenue. The first phase involves the 5.8-acre area between Strachan Avenue and Bathurst Street with a trail connection extending to Spadina Avenue. Planned elements for the first phase include the "Strachan Gate Timber Pier" structure which provides performance and spectator space, a pedestrian and cycling bridge across Fort York Boulevard, a 450-metre ice skating plaza and programming components to activate the public space on a year-round basis. -

The $1.665 billion includes the cost of acquiring air rights. City Average Downtown Downtown Toronto already has less parkland— on both an area and per person basis—than the city-wide average.
