For thousands of years, the Toronto Islands have been a place for healing and ceremony for the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and other diverse Indigenous communities. The Island, and Hanlan's Point Beach, hold significant historic importance for 2S LGBTQ+ communities and continues to be an oasis for Torontonians from all walks of life today. In recent years, the park has faced pressures, such as increased demand, aging infrastructure and flooding.

Over the last 2.5 years, the City has been engaging on the development of a Master Plan to guide long-term improvements to Toronto Island Park, including Hanlan’s Point Beach. Through this process, we’ve heard ideas from hundreds of beach users. Many of these ideas are reflected in the draft Master Plan.

We want to get this plan right, so we’re inviting Hanlan’s beach users to join us in a safe and collaborative environment to learn more about the draft plan and the ideas specific to Hanlan’s to discuss and refine them.

To learn more about the Master Plan process and what's in the draft Plan, visit the project webpage.
