The Don River Valley
A Different Kind of Park: The Same Remarkable Promise

The Don River Valley has long been one of Toronto’s most misunderstood and under-appreciated open spaces. Time has not always been on the valley’s side. Yet in the last decade(s), its story has been closely tied to the evolution of our relationship with nature.

In present-day Toronto, we are now at the confluence of an ever-evolving appreciation of landscape and a far more sophisticated understanding of the importance of ecology in the urban environment. For the Don River Valley, this may be the best of times.

This presentation will touch on the history of the Lower Don River, past efforts to improve its condition and more recent developments to elevate the Don River Valley to its rightful place as one of Toronto’s most valued landscapes.
