• Have recognized business at the Port
• Show government-issued Photo Identification to Security at the gatehouse to Marine Terminal 51/52 in order to be issued a Visitor’s Pass

Navigational Safety

PortsToronto is also responsible for facilitating the safe, shared use of Toronto’s Harbour and ensuring safe navigation.

As part of its stewardship of the harbour, PortsToronto issues permits to boaters and provides authorizations for activities that occur in, on, over, under, through or across the waters in its jurisdiction.

PortsToronto also sets out important practices and procedures pertaining to speed limits, swimming, fishing and more that must be followed to help ensure boater safety in the port and harbour of Toronto.
