Lake Ontario is a treasured watershed. TLC is concerned about pesticide, aquatic herbicide and road salt use near the lake. TLC intends to investigate opportunities for improvement, and provide public education and oversight. The Pesticide, Chemicals and Road Salt initiative is a long-term, ongoing project.
We all need to be informed or reminded of bylaws and best practices. TLC is working with the city and key stakeholders to erect signage at various locations along the lakefront with respect to litter and garbage pickup, safe boating habits, and gentle reminders that we are all stewards of our public spaces.
The stretch of beach east of the RC Harris Treatment Plant is being used by the public however there is no public access to the beach. We are concerned that the grounds by the Treatment Plant are being eroded, the slope to the beach is compromised, and there is no access by fire, police, or EMS creating a safety issue. TLC is working with our partners at the city, and key stakeholders to create safe public access to Secret Beach.
Who doesn't love urban art? It can be colourful and creative and bring joy. But let's face it, some graffiti gives the impression that an area is abandoned, uncared for, or disrespected.
Unapproved graffiti is vandalism and goes against Toronto City Bylaw 485. TLC believes that some places should be kept pristine and natural. We are working in collaboration with the city and key stakeholders to eliminate the unsolicited graffiti along the natural shoreline.
