The governments of Canada, Ontario and Toronto have announced a combined funding of $962m for the Port Lands Flood Protection project, an initiative to save, clean and maintain the Port Lands.

Funding will be used to protect the Port Lands from flooding to clean contaminated soil, unlock land ripe for development, and establish new aquatic habitats and wetlands for native species. The project will transform the polluted industrial area into a mixed-use community surrounded by parks and green space.
