I would like to provide information on the Marina Action Plan project in Ward 1.
Council approved the Inspiration Port Credit Master Plan in 2016 which recommends that a vibrant mixed use waterfront neighbourhood and destination with a full service marina be developed at the 1 Port Street East site. Subsequently, Council authorized staff, through Resolution 0193-2017, to move forward with the Marina Action Plan for 1 Port Street East. A consulting team led by Shoreplan Engineering Limited was retained in June 2019 to complete an Environmental Assessment (EA) and pre-design studies. The City hosted the first Public Information Centre about the 1 Port Street East Proposed Marina Project on July 18, 2019.
A detailed project update was provided to you on through a General Committee presentation on October 30, 2019.
Next steps for the project include a Public Information Centre #2 on January 29th at the Port Credit Legion with an open house at 4:00 pm and a presentation at 6:30 pm– please save the date. The purpose of this Public Information Centre is to present the draft Terms of Reference, which sets out the City’s work plan for addressing the Environmental Assessment Act requirements in the Individual EA, builds upon all of the background work completed to date, includes the extent of lakefill to be considered in the EA, and the public consultation activities. More detailed alternatives will be shown at future PICs. This will be an opportunity for the local and boating community to understand the project and to discuss the Terms of Reference with the project team. The community will be engaged throughout the process and will be given opportunities to provide input.
If you have any questions pertaining to this project please feel free to reach out to myself………………

To set out for collection, residents should ensure that:
- trees taller than 3 m. (10 ft.) are cut in half,
- all plastic bags, ornaments, tinsel, nails, wire and tree stands are removed,

Vacuum Leaf Program is moving ahead
This has been a challenging season for the Vacuum Leaf Program with having three disruptive snow storms during the program. You would have received a colour coded notice card in the mail in the early fall with the pick-up dates for your area. Green and Yellow have now been completed. Crews have now moved into the Blue Zone, which included the Mineola’s and parts of Port Credit. They are working diligently to get the program completed.
I would like to thank our residents for their patience and understanding during this challenging season.

Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time. We have already experienced the impacts of climate change with increased flooding, ice storms and some of the hottest summers on record, but we are taking action! Together with my colleagues on Council, we recently approved the City’s Climate Change Action Plan. It contains ambitious yet practical steps that will help us combat climate change over the next 10 years.
The plan has two main goals – 1. Reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 80 per cent by 2050 with the long-term goal of becoming a net-zero community; and 2. Increase resilience and the capacity of the city to withstand and respond to current and future climate events
In total, the Plan contains 21 key actions that are grouped under five ‘action pathways’:
- Buildings and Clean Energy
- Resilient and Green Infrastructure
- Accelerating Discovery and Innovation
- Low-Emissions Mobility
- Engagement and Partnerhips
