Pulling the Plug: Reconnecting the Don River to Lake Ontario

In February 2024, Waterfront Toronto flooded the new river that they built in the Port Lands. Over the summer, they removed the ‘west plug’, which separated the new part of the river from Lake Ontario. Now, they are starting to remove the North Plug, which will allow the existing Don River to flow through the new river valley. This work will take a little while, and a lot of it will happen underwater. Don Forbes is here to explain how it’s done.
