History
The Waterfront Regeneration Trust was established in 1991 as an arms length government agency. It was governed by an appointed Board of Directors. The Chairman of the Board of Directors from was David Crombie.
The trust reported through the Ministry of the Environment (1991-1992), the Ministry of Municipal Affairs (1992-1995) and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (1995-1998).
One of the recommendations of the Government Task Force on Agencies, Boards and Commissions was for the trust to move from direct government support to "full community and private funding for its future activities". As a result, amendments to the Waterfront Regeneration Trust Agency Act converted it into a not for profit private corporation effective March, 1999.
