## Quick answer

No anchoring in Outer Harbour channel or near Tommy Thompson Park breakwall.

## Detailed answer

Toronto Port Authority prohibits anchoring in the Outer Harbour navigational channel and within 50 metres of the Tommy Thompson Park breakwall. Temporary anchoring for swimming is permitted east of the ABYC channel marker in designated areas, but overnight anchoring requires a permit from Toronto Port Authority Harbour Master.
