No capital work is required at the Toronto Islands to enable operation of electric ferries. The work plan presents the tasks and associated timelines required to complete the shoreside infrastructure including the design, permits and approvals, procurement and construction phases. The report also presents the roles and responsibilities within City divisions, CreateTO and Toronto Hydro to effectively advance the project and ensure oversight regarding project budget, timelines, quality control and integration with parallel projects and with ferry operations. The shoreside infrastructure is scheduled to be installed by Q3 2026 in advance of the delivery of the first new ferry, the passenger and vehicle vessel, in Q4 (November) 2026 and the new passenger vessel in Q2 (April) 2027.
