Over the past 200 years, pressures of urbanization, port expansion, industrial activity, transport, and recreation along the Toronto waterfront have resulted in the destruction of wetlands and riparian habitats.
In the last three decades, however, extensive efforts have been made in restoring aquatic and terrestrial habitat along the Toronto and Region waterfront and within its watersheds.
Using best management practices and advice from industry leaders, more than 50 hectares of aquatic and terrestrial habitat has been restored along the waterfront, and more than 850 hectares within watersheds.
This Lake Ontario Evening event will showcase these efforts in detail and highlight some of the positive changes that have occurred.
Presenters:
- Don Little, Toronto Remedial Action Plan Project Manager
- Ralph Toninger, Associate Director, Restoration and Resource Management at Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA)
- Kat Lucas, Outreach Coordinator at Ontario Streams
