Generations after the lower stretch of Don River and its mouth into Lake Ontario was straightened
and channelized for industry, the mistakes of the past are being corrected. The undoing of
what was called the ‘Don Improvement Project’—from a time when environmental issues
were not well understood—is part of Waterfront Toronto‘s wider redevelopment of Toronto’s Port Lands.

While re-naturalizing the Don River’s mouth with a new curving channel, the current
work creates an island by separating the northwest chunk of the Port Lands from t
he mainland. To be known as Villiers Island for its main east-west street,
the area is being decontaminated, provided with infrastructure to house people,
and will be surrounded by new parkland.

The south and east shores of the future island remain connected
to land for now, as crews work away on the new river channel.
This new channel will augment the flow capacity of the existing outlet:
the river currently makes a sudden right-angle turn into
the artificial Keating Channel, which requires regular dredging to maintain its flow.

To create new parkland alongside Toronto Harbour, Waterfront
Toronto has been undertaking the Cherry Street Lakefilling project.
It commenced in winter 2017 and has now wrapped up.
An element of the Port Lands Flood Protection Project,
the lakefilling process formed new land around Essroc Quay,
replacing its hard edges with a more natural shoreline
for the northwest corner of Villiers Island. (Essroc manufactures cement,
and will be moving its operations eventually.)
The lake filling work is best summarized in a brief time-lapse video released
by Waterfront Toronto last month.
Certain elements of Villiers Island shown in pre-construction renderings
and models are now starting to materialize. One area known
as the ‘fish cove’ is located at the west end of the island,
and is protected bay divided from the lake by a fish gate,
and traversed by a pedestrian bridge. This and
some other features have been designed to bring wildlife back
to the mouth of the Don, looking to undo decades of industrial damage to the area.
