As CAMH is located near Exhibition Place, which hosts FIFA World Cup matches, we expect the surrounding area will see significant increases in traffic, pedestrian volume, and transit demand on game days. For general directions and site information, visit camh.ca/fifa

While island airport consultation is welcome, the federal government has to use their power to stand with Torontonians against provincial overreach.
Any decisions about our waterfront's future must be transparent and evidence-based.

Today, Waterfront Toronto, artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, and Deputy Mayor Malik (@ausmalik) unveiled the highly anticipated Unfinished Arch at Sherbourne Common.
Standing nine metres tall and cantilevering 14 metres from a single support point, this striking installation marks Lozano-Hemmer’s first permanent public artwork in Canada — and a bold new landmark on Toronto’s waterfront.
Shaped to be completed through the participation of its visitors, the Arch illuminates when someone touches its truncated floating edge, bringing the work to life and symbolically “completing” it.
Developed with input from Waterfront Toronto’s Accessibility Advisory Committee, the installation welcomes and engages visitors of all abilities.

I’m proud to have led a plan to restore the Amsterdam Bridge on our waterfront.
I worked with City Divisions, @createto, @harbourfrontcentre, and neighbours to move a plan at City Council to bring back the bridge. It was so great to celebrate it's reconnection with all of you!

New lighting is going in under the Gardiner! 💡👀
A new lighting and wayfinding installation at Bathurst St will brighten an important travel corridor and help fans, residents and visitors move more safely between transit, neighbourhoods, event destinations and the waterfront.
This was made possible through @TheBentway’s vision with funding from the City’s FIFA World Cup 2026 Toronto Secretariat.

From HTO Park to Sugar Beach and beyond, Claude’s work helped shape Toronto’s most loved public spaces.
Thanks to the Councillor @PaulaFletcherTO, Deputy Mayor @ausmalik, @cityoftoronto, Ontario Association of Landscape Architects, @BikeShareTO, @WaterfrontBIA, and @_CreateTO for bringing this event together.

So exciting! 🥳
May 29
A major milestone for Toronto’s newest ferry 🚢🎉 On May 27, the Lady of the Quays was launched into the water — an exciting step in the vessel’s journey to Toronto.
The launch also honoured long-standing maritime traditions. A ceremonial bottle smash marked the occasion — a practice dating back centuries that is believed to bring good fortune and safe travels to ships and crews at sea. The bottle came from a Toronto distillery, connecting the tradition back to home.
Another important tradition: the vessel’s sponsor (the person who releases the bottle) is a woman. Historically, ships have been sponsored by women for generations as a symbol of protection, guidance and good luck for all who sail aboard.
Construction of the Lady of the Quays will continue while the vessel is in the water before beginning its journey to Toronto in late 2026.
And there’s more excitement ahead — the Toronto Islander ferry has its own launch in July. Stay tuned! ⚓
