Ontario Breaks Ground on East Harbour Transit Hub

June 17, 2025
  • In the face of economic uncertainty, our government is doubling down on its plan to build Ontario and deliver the largest expansion of public transit in North America.
  • Once complete, the East Harbour Transit Hub will connect the Ontario Line subway with the Lakeshore East and Stouffville GO Transit lines, serving approximately 100,000 daily riders while substantially reducing crowding at Union Station.
  • By linking the Lakeshore East and Stouffville GO lines with the new Ontario Line subway, the East Harbour Transit Hub will offer commuters more convenient access to downtown Toronto, helping to cut travel times, relieve congestion and create new opportunities for work and housing.
  • In March, the Ontario government awarded the contract for major construction for the East Harbour Transit Hub, creating good-paying jobs for drill rig operators, steel and concrete workers, form workers and crane and excavator operators.
  • As part of the government’s Transit-Oriented Communities (TOCs) initiative, the East Harbour project will deliver both transit and infrastructure alongside housing, retail, recreation and parkland.
