About the Guild Shoreline - Cause for Concern
This land along the Guild shoreline is the result of a lakefill project from many years ago. The land is part of a waterfront strategy that was created to build a buffer along the shoreline for the purpose of erosion protection along the bluffs. While it does not directly stop erosion, it does create a place for land to establish itself and to collect over time. Now when the bluffs erode from the top, the land will remain at the bottom, as habitat.

A major benefit to a project like this and one of the primary ways to win the public over is to sell them on the idea of 'creating new habitat' and my concern is around this precise point.

This land was part of a 'new habitat' scheme. The creation of new habitat was the upside of accepting and allowing for lakefront dredging and the dumping of thousands of tons of construction debris in an otherwise natural and picturesque place.

Fortunately the land along the Guild shoreline has benefited from the passage of time and through the seasons and over the years, it has been able to re-establish itself as a natural area. It is now considered a unique ecosystem along the Scarborough Bluffs and it is also a major attraction to people that love and appreciate nature and the outdoors.

Being on the north shore of Lake Ontario, the Scarborough Bluffs have always been part of the migratory path for birds and butterflies but now with additional habitat along the shoreline there are many more animals, large and small, that make this area their home. In addition to the pond being a place for toads and frogs, it is also home to other amphibians and reptiles, and some like the snapping turtle are a species at risk.

The cause for concern with this section of the Toronto's waterfront is the very habitat that at one time was packaged up and promoted as a benefit to the shoreline is now at risk of being destroyed. And ironically this is all at the hands of a conservation authority. The real kicker here is that the public is being told the very same thing again, that this impending destruction is to create more 'new habitat'.

The Scarborough shoreline does not need anymore 'new habitat'. It has plenty and its time we leave well enough alone. It is also time we stop destroying natural areas that are home to the wide range of sentient beings that we share this landscape with.

Abstract concepts are complex and so are issues affecting the natural environment but habitat loss and environmental destruction do not have to be part of the equation.

This is your moment to make a difference. I invite you to stand up for nature. The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has recently spent over $3 million on a public marketing campaign trying to convince the public to accept a waterfront plan that is nothing more that a plan of destruction that puts construction debris in places that were once for nature. Lets make the new year a time for change. Its time for the Conservation Authority to turn a new leaf and make conservation a priority.

What can be done?


1. Share this post and video with your contacts.

2. Write to your local councillor and let them know you want better protection for nature.

3. Contact the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to tell them that you do not support the destruction of a natural habitat.
