If you’ve visited Biidaasige Park, you may have been astounded by the transformation of this stretch of the Port Lands.

A remarkable transformation doesn't happen overnight. Take a look back at the evolution of Toronto's Port Lands between 2019 and 2024.

Watch as this formerly industrial landscape is transformed by a new river valley, wetlands, bridges and public spaces. The work delivered critical flood protection, restored habitat, expanded access to the waterfront, and established the foundation for Toronto’s future island neighbourhood.

From the soles of shoes to hundreds of bottles stamped with rival trademarks, artists Ryan Walker
and Vid Ingelevics photographed hundreds of found objects while documenting the Port Lands Flood Protection Project.

Their book, How to Build a River, serves as a visual record of both the everyday objects that tell the story of its industrial past and the unprecedented project helping define its future by unlocking land for housing and communities.
