Ookwemin Minising (pronounced Oh-kway-min Min-nih-sing) is a 39.6 hectares (98 acres) artificial island in Toronto's Port Lands. It is bordered by the Keating Channel to the north, the Don River to the east and south, and Toronto Harbour to the west.
Ookwemin Minising was formed in the 2020s as part of Waterfront Toronto's flood protection and revitalization efforts in the Port Lands. As part of the project, the mouth of the Don River was rerouted and naturalized, extending it south and west into the Port Lands. This reconfiguration led to the creation of the island.
