The Harbourfront Centre (http://www.harbourfrontcentre.com/)
Harbourfront is a waterfront tourist, residential and cultural real estate development on the northern shore of Lake Ontario within the downtown west side of the city of Toronto, Canada.
Harbourfront is the site of the Toronto Islands ferry terminal which provides transportation services to the Islands, and the location of HarbourfrontCentre, one of the city's many cultural venues.
However, the limited parking in the area and the fact that the neighbourhood is separated from the rest of downtown Toronto by the elevated Gardiner Expressway resulted in insufficient clientele.
The HarbourfrontCentre is a key cultural facility on Toronto, Ontario's waterfront.
Established as a crown corporation in 1972 by the federal government to create a waterfront park, it became a non-profit organization in 1991.
The government decided it would create both HarbourfrontCentre and the Province would build near by Ontario Place as ways to improve the lakefront in increase tourism to the city.
