In partnership with organizations across the City of Toronto, we push for stronger rules that keep development away from sensitive ravines - consistent with Toronto's Ravine Strategy.
At the February 2026 Infrastructure & Environment Committee meeting, the committee adopted a motion to bring forward at the March 2026 Council meeting. The motion will ask Council to direct the Chief Planner, in consultation with the City Solicitor and Parks & Recreation, to report back in Q2 2026 on options to enhance protection of Toronto’s ravines from ravine-edge real estate development — including analysis of increasing the buffer between development sites and sensitive ravines.
For Glen Stewart Ravine, this is an important policy lever. We will track the City’s report-back, share key milestones publicly, and advocate for clear, enforceable setbacks/buffers that actually protect ravine ecology and slope stability.
