The BQNA was invited to be part of the Working Group that shaped the Toronto Island Master Plan – a process that took place from 2021 to 2024.

From the City of Toronto project web site:

The Toronto Island Park Plan was co-created with Indigenous rights holders, local communities and the public through a series of engagement activities held between 2021 and 2024. In total, more than 4,500 people participated in activities such as Indigenous engagement and placekeeping meetings, virtual and in-person events, stakeholder discussions and a youth ambassador program.

The Toronto Island Plan includes recommendations to guide improvements over the next 25 years. These recommendations are organized under six goals that work together to address the complexity and opportunities for Toronto Island Park. Each goal is supported by strategies and actions that provide a clear roadmap for investment, partnership, engagement, and other steps needed to achieve the Plan’s long-term vision.

The plan was formally adopted by City Council in July 2024 and now the plan has moved to the implementation phase with specific projects to improve and enhance the park – guided by the vision set out by the master plan.
