 Commissioners
Community
Hub

Adaptive re-use of the historic Commissioners Incinerator building and expansion of McCleary
Park

Envisioned to be a hub of activity in the heart of the Port Lands, surrounded by a public plaza,
with a large new local- and district-serving community centre. It will also provide for creative
sector incubator uses. The plaza could host community events and flea and/or farmer’s
markets, or act as an arts, culture and performance venue.
 Adaptive Re-Use
of the Hearn
Generating Station

It could be an experimental food hub, innovation

and education centre, ruin garden, multi-cultural
and multi-sport facility, or maybe even an art hotel.
