City of Toronto watermain construction update
During recent work at the Macpherson shaft site, the contractor discovered a steel beam and column structure.
Currently, the City staff and the contractor are exploring the relocation of the Macpherson shaft site. This relocation would extend the overall project timeline, and a revised schedule will be developed accordingly. While the project team works through these technical adjustments, construction is on hold.

Designs for a massive new housing development across from Scarborough’s Kennedy GO station look something like a technicolour game of Connect Four.
Hundreds of windows on three different towers are framed in circles of concrete, stained to vivid shades of yellow, orange, blue and red. The towers sit on a wide, interconnected base, which the architects say will be home to gathering spots, community gardens and a blanket of greenery.
