Below is the memo that local residence received in the mail over the Easter Long weekend. Unfortunately as of the time they sent the notice out they had still not put any info on their website about the road closures. If they do the same as previous years then the southbound lanes of Queens Quay will be closed from Stadium Road to York Street.

Spring is almost here!

It's been a long winter but spring is almost here.

The official start to spring in Canada for 2011 is March the 20th.

For those of you who still don't believe it:-), on this past Friday we spotted a flock of Canadian Geese flying over the ship.

This upcoming weekend (Saturday March 12th) the clocks also spring ahead one hour.

Portland Slip Water's Edge Update / Across The Slip From The Jubilee Queen

Portland Slip Water’s Edge: Construction Update

The City of Toronto’s construction crews are continuing to reinforce and repair the dockwall at the Portland Slip next to the Canada Malting Silos.  This work, which began in late November, is part of a large Waterfront Toronto and city project to create a new vibrant promenade at the water’s edge and a safe way to access Ireland Park.

Crews are currently driving sheet steel pilings to provide structural support for the dockwall. This work requires crews to take columns of wood, steel or concrete and drive them into the ground along the length of the dockwall. Crews are expected to complete sheet steel pilings by the end of the month and will then begin steel framing and supports for the new dockwall and promenade.

Once the city’s repairs are complete, Waterfront Toronto will begin construction on a first phase of water’s edge promenade along the slip. The promenade, like the one opened last summer between Canada’s Sugar Beach and Sherbourne Common, will feature granite pavers with a two-toned red and grey maple leaf mosaic pattern. A double row of native maple trees will line the promenade offering shade and wind protection.
The city expects to complete dockwall repairs this summer and the revitalized promenade is scheduled to open in spring 2012.
