ickering’s waterfront is the shimmering jewel of our community and it’s important that we remain thoughtful in our approach when improving and enhancing these special spaces. The community continues to grow and see increased tourism and activity around these destinations and that is why over the past year, the City has asked the broader community to participate in the long-term planning and vision for its waterfront. With your help, we will ensure that our waterfront continues to be safe, accessible, and enjoyable for all that live, work, and visit here.
