What Has Happened?

The Province of Ontario is building a modern, more reliable and seamless transit network in the Greater Toronto Area with the GO rail expansion program as well as the largest subway expansion in Canadian history – including the brand-new 15.6-kilometre Ontario Line.

As part of this plan, the Province is taking a bold new approach to city building and leading the province’s first Transit Oriented Communities Program (TOC). This approach will bring more jobs and housing closer to transit – increasing ridership, reducing congestion, and stimulating economic growth.

The Province and City have been working together (through a Memorandum of Understanding) to create a provincially-led, expedited process for review of TOC proposals that will enable delivery of TOCs while ensuring commitments for transit service delivery are met. Consultations with the community are a critical element of this TOC process.

What’s Happening Now?

As committed in April 2021 when the East Harbour TOC was announced, the East Harbour “Mixed-Use Master Plan” is the first proposed TOC development brought to life under the program and review process. The Mixed-Use Master Plan is now being made available to the public for review and comment by the Province and its TOC partner Cadillac Fairview.

What's Happening Next?

Through the TOC program, the East Harbour Project Team is seeking to secure public commentary as part of the review and approvals process for the “Mixed-Use Master Plan.” Over the next several months, the Project Team will be hosting a series of public engagement events - we hope you’ll join us in sharing your thoughts and feedback.
