Toronto Names Electric Ferries?
Toronto is inviting residents to name two new fully electric ferries, highlighting the city’s commitment to green public infrastructure News Releases & Other Resources – City of Toronto.
The two ferries will serve the Toronto Islands, replacing aging diesel vessels and reducing emissions. The city aims to have the ferries in service by 2026. Residents can submit names online, with a panel judging submissions based on relevance and creativity. The winning names will be announced later this year. This initiative aligns with Toronto's TransformTO Net Zero Strategy, targeting net-zero emissions by 2040. Electrification of the ferry fleet is a key step in reducing the city's carbon footprint.
