Life In Port Lands

The Port Lands is an area that extends southeast of Toronto’s downtown core into Lake Ontario. Some local landmarks include Cherry Beach, Tommy Thompson Park—one of the best bird watching spots in the city—and the Hearn Generating Station, an iconic, decommissioned electrical plant.

The City of Toronto has planned a complete transformation of this area to create a sustainable community with affordable housing, job opportunities, and connection to surrounding nature—which should be completed by 2024. The Port Lands include Keating Channel/Don River and Lake Shore Boulevard in the north, the Toronto Inner Harbour in the west, Ashbridges Bay in the east and Lake Ontario and Tommy Thompson Park in the south.
