Christie Cookies: How a Former Factory Holds the Promise to Complete Toronto’s Western Waterfront

Humber Bay Shores (Toronto’s western waterfront) has evolved into one of the densest residential communities in the city. The area is defined by tall towers with exceptional views of the lake and Toronto’s skyline. While new residential development has incrementally transformed the area, investments in transit and community infrastructure have struggled to keep up with the area’s growth. The adjacent Christie Cookies site is striving to respond to the area’s needs, while simultaneously bringing forward a transformational master plan. This tour will explore the past, present, and future of Humber Bay Shores and showcase the ingenuity and ambitions of the Christie Cookies master plan. Does a former industrial site hold the key to “completing” this community?
