The opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1959 brought with it renewed hope for Toronto’s burgeoning port and shipping industry. Completed in 1962, Marine Terminal 35 is a surviving example of purpose built accommodation that handled the container cargo brought by oceangoing vessels following the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway.
Prior to detailed design of the River and Promontory Park for the Marine Terminal 35 site, an assessment of the heritage values and attributes of the site consistent with provincial regulations and City practices will be undertaken by the City, or to the City’s satisfaction, to inform an appropriate conservation and mitigation strategy.
