As the city filed it

In 2024 Bathurst Quay Common, a new local park, opened at the historic Canada Malting Silos property in the heart of the Bathurst Quay neighbourhood. Bathurst Quay Common provides approximately 4,000 square metres of park space and features a multi-purpose plaza that can accommodate special events and cultural programming. The Malting Silos have been fully rehabilitated and are used for programming and projections, with plans for OCAD to utilize the site.

In 2026, a new arts and cultural centre operated by the non-profit Canada Ireland Foundation will open within the heart of the park. The 'Corleck Building' will function as a four-season waterfront hub for community, artistic and cultural programming in a restored heritage building. Canada Ireland Foundation will be conducting extensive programming at the Corleck and Bathurst Quay Common in the future. To ensure that programming is coordinated at the site including events at the Corleck building, events programmed by Canada Ireland Foundation at Bathurst Quay Common, and other public permitting of Bathurst Quay Common and the Silos, Parks and Recreation staff should develop a framework for permitting at this site.
