The face of Toronto's Port Lands is about to change forever as the new channel to connect the Don River with Lake Ontario has started being flooded. David Zura explains.

This is very cool. I can't wait to see the water a-flowing and the plants a-growing.

Please have someone QC your audio. The audio in all of your videos has been in the right side only for weeks.

Messing with nature again wonder what will happen this time.

This is fixing previous attempts to "mess with nature" by connecting the don back to a more natural riverway rather than a 90 degree bank. Flood mitigation alongside ecological restoration; nature will be pretty happy

It's an almost three minute clip on how we intend to pollute lake Ontario using the Don river...

Huh? The Don River already flows into Lake Ontario. They’re just moving the location of its mouth.

@@BC_Geoff shhh! Land value is the object. The lake level has to drop to stop the flooding. 2 years of rains will plug that ditch with silt.

The river has been flowing into Lake Ontario since the beginning, just like the Credit River and the Humber River. Where did you think the water from the rivers went?.

Keep messing with mother nature is never a good idea.

Why to late for that. Ain't nothing much left that was natural about this river and it has not been that way for a good 100 years or more. I remember 30 years ago when they added the wetlands back. They had been drained many decades previous to that. That amount of work that has been done to restore the complete dumpster fire that we did to the area in the last 150 years or so years is impressive. It is not obvious now but 125 years ago Hog Town was the epicentre for the largest hog slaughtering area in the entire British Empire. The port was running non stop as where the trains to bring in vast numbers of animals to be slaughtered and shipped out. Primarily to the booming UK, which had ceased to be self sufficient in food, but to other areas as well.

Shutting down major streets for bicycle lanes is a waste of our money. This is actually a really good project. This will turn a disaster zone of our shoreline into an asset both ecologically and aesthetically. The natural shoreline was Front street and is was just mud. Everything below Front St is man made, and is part of the beauty of our city. Don Valley and the Humber are gems. I live on the Humber and can assure you it is beautiful.
