Amenities and recreation opportunities include a floodable plaza, that would double as an ice and splash park, an arts and entertainment venue, food, drink and artisan establishments, beach and water activity access, a floating spa, and dock and moorage spaces.

The Mill Site team will be conducting public engagement on the three concepts over the coming weeks.

The Tolko lumber mill closed its operation at the site in early 2020.
