Toronto Inner Harbour Floatables Strategy: Town Hall

Come learn about this collaborative strategy with a mission to reduce plastic pollution and other floating litter in the Toronto harbour.

Plastic pollution and other floatable litter on our waterfront can harm wildlife and is an eyesore. To prevent and reduce these floatables – through education, prevention and cleanup – we collaborated with local organizations to initiate the Toronto Inner Harbour Floatables Strategy (Floatables Strategy) in 2019. This strategy has since grown and solidified over the years to include more actions with more and diverse stakeholders.

You’re invited to join us for a special meeting to learn more about the Floatables Strategy. We will provide information about what the strategy covers, show the impact of our work, and then hear from you! You’ll receive an opportunity to ask questions and offer suggestions for future actions as we move into our next phase.

Event details:

• Date: Thursday September 18, 2025
• Time: Please arrive by 5:45 pm to check in. The meeting will begin promptly at 6:00 pm.
• Location: Waterfront Neighbourhood Centre – Dance Studio (627 Queens Quay W)

The Floatables Strategy is not just for us, it’s for you – the people who work, live and enjoy recreation opportunities along the waterfront. This strategy is also to protect our environment and to help local businesses, community members, and visitors thrive in a beautiful space.

We look forward to hearing from you and sharing more about what we do locally.
