GHD and SLA teaming up to deliver major infrastructure design for Toronto's newest island
GHD, a leading global professional services company, and SLA, a renowned Danish nature-based design studio, have been awarded the role of prime consultant by Waterfront Toronto for phase one of infrastructure and streetscape design for a new island community. Formerly known as Villiers Island, Ookwemin Minising is a new island born from one of the world’s most ambitious flood protection and river restoration projects. A historic gathering place, the Don River will be at the heart of this future community. Planned to be home to more than 15,000 people, the island will also be a destination where people will visit to relax and explore. The first new residents of this island community are expected to move in by 2031.
