Lawrence neighbourhood. The shoreline plaques will be paired with a public launch event, to be held in the Summer 2025.

The plaques will also correspond to a digital experience, to be launched by the end of 2025, which will feature additional content and interpretation on the 1841 shoreline. Two double-width Heritage Toronto porcelain-enamel plaques will provide a historical summary of the 1841 shoreline, Lake Ontario's history, and the shoreline marker project and will bookend the shoreline marker plaques.
