The Toronto Humber Yacht Club has been a presence on the Humber River, just south of Bloor, since the mid-1950s, taking up a total of 3.09 acres (0.92 of them in the water itself) that it leases from the City. In the weeks since, a counter-petition (with 1,105 signees) has also appeared, seemingly launched by a PR firm on behalf of the club. It cites the organization's lengthy history and repeatedly reiterates its connection with the ecosystem, calling it "a quiet steward of the Humber River" that "supports responsible boating, youth sailing and environmental education." The pages paint two very different stories, along with an evident tension between the two groups telling them. Her office has yet to reply to blogTO's request for comment since we spotted the petition last week.
