Julie Di Lorenzo, a Toronto developer who previously resigned from the Waterfront Toronto board, questioned in the Associated Press how Waterfront Toronto, "a corporation established by three levels of democratically elected government, [has] shared values with a limited, for-profit company whose premise is embedded data collection?" An advisor on Sidewalk Labs' Toronto project has resigned citing concerns over the company's attitude towards data and privacy. Saadia Muzaffar, the founder of TechGirls Canada, said "apathy and a lack of leadership" over widespread public concern regarding the 12-acre scheme along the city's waterfront led to her departure. The Canadian Press obtained an email from Muzaffar dated May 22 in which she wrote that she was leaving because "the company is not taking privacy seriously or acting responsibly with respect to its data." Construction is currently scheduled to begin in 2020.
