Transit Oriented Communities
• The Province announced the Transit Oriented Communities (TOC) initiative in July 2020
• The focus of the TOC Program is to create vibrant communities at transit stations along priority transit lines (including the Ontario Line)
• In April 2021, East Harbour was identified by the Province as one of the first TOCs
• The East Harbour TOC will create a mixed-use transit-oriented community, with new commercial and residential buildings oriented around the Transit Hub
