Join us as we move to the next stage in the design competition for the Jack
Layton Ferry Terminal and Harbour Square Park. The five shortlisted design
teams will come together on Monday, March 16 at Toronto City Hall in the
Rotunda to present their bold and innovative ideas to the public.
The five design proposals will be on display in the Rotunda at Toronto City Hall
from March 16 to March 20, 2015. Members of the public are welcome to view the
exhibition and provide feedback beginning at 12:00 p.m. on March 16. The
exhibition will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m from March 17 to March 19,
but will close at 5:00 p.m. on March 20. Public feedback will also be collected
through an online tool during this period. You can access the online feedback
form as of March 16 – so stay tuned to our
Facebook
and
Twitter

Public feedback will be summarized into a report and given to the jury – a group
of distinguished art design professionals – to assist them in their evaluations
of the five submissions.
