Engineers once called Toronto Harbour beyond saving. Now, fed gov kills idea for filling in Lake for Billy Bishop & City opens 10 acres of Biidaasige Park.
The harbour didn’t get saved by engineers, it was saved by people who kept showing up for it. open.substack.com/pub/waterk…

Today, federal comment ends for proposal to fill in Harbour & Lake to extend Billy Bishop runway. Message from public consultation is that Toronto Harbour, the water park, has emerged as powerful new voice for restoration and protection of Lake Ontario. open.substack.com/pub/waterk…

Pretty sure it is not an anti expansion movement? It is a pro Toronto Harbour movement that has been going on for decades open.substack.com/pub/waterk… @LOWaterkeeper @IJCsharedwaters

As we finalize comments on the proposal to expand runway in Toronto to allow for jets and more traffic (due July 24th) … good to remember that this project will make things worse for water quality by trapping contaminated water longer in harbour. Primer here. youtu.be/PTMoJafcwlQ

Toronto Harbour isn't finished being restored. We can't give up on it now. On the Great Lakes, Billy Bishop & why we shouldn't accept a degraded baseline as the status quo open.substack.com/pub/waterk…

Toronto has plan to reduce sewage overflows into Harbour. Photo from few years ago shows problems from combined sewer overflow in downtown. In this 2018 CBC article - issues discussed. cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/t…

“And it's not just a Toronto Harbour problem. If environmental protection can be ignored in the prov’s biggest city, w/the most voters, there's nothing stopping the same move anywhere else in Ontario.”
Great substack by @waterkeepermark a/b Billy Bishop & more. #protectthewater
That murky plume in Toronto Harbour isn’t an accident, it’s 9 sewer outfalls plus the Don River. It already struggles to flush. A new report shows a Billy Bishop runway expansion would cut harbour flow in half. Time for a public summit on this waterfront. open.substack.com/pub/waterk…

The Globe’s Billy Bishop editorial reduced Toronto’s harbour to “some impact on boats.” No one has published how much lake gets filled in, so I did the math & came up with 60,000 truckloads for a project currently illegal under its own governing agreement
