Waterfront Toronto has created a public engagement process that outlines the range of activities and forums we will use to engage in effective two-way communication with our diverse stakeholder groups during the revitalization of Queens Quay.

Going forward, public enagement will be structured around four categories of projects:

• Central Waterfront Wide Coordination
• Downtown Waterfront Master Plan Completion
• Statutory Review of Planning Zoning Approvals and EA Projects
• Detailed Design and Construction Staging

Within these projects, there will be many different ways to get involved.  From general community update meetings to social media updates, Waterfront Toronto will offer a variety of different public engagement techniques. Read the full public engagement process.

The Downtown Waterfront Master Plan takes the competition-winning vision for the central waterfront and translates it into an action plan for implementation.

We need your input before presenting the master plan to Toronto City Council for formal endorsement in 2011. Waterfront Toronto will be holding focused workshops on three key topics in the master plan:

• marine infrastructure planning
• wayfinding and signage
• programming/public art and heritage

If you are interested in signing up for any – or all – of these working sessions, please send an email to central@waterfrontoronto.ca. Waterfront Toronto will contact you with more information as soon as the sessions are scheduled.

As the detailed design for Queens Quay is complete, Waterfront Toronto is now preparing for the construction phase. The first phase of construction to revitalize Queens Quay will begin in 2012. During construction, there will be many opportunities for public input. Waterfront Toronto will hold drop-in sessions and community update meetings. A construction liaison committee was established early 2012.
