Construction Underway at Canadas Sugar Beach

Toronto, October 30, 2009 - Waterfront Toronto, together with the Governments of Canada and Ontario and the City of Toronto, officially broke ground today on Canadas Sugar Beach, a new park that is transforming a surface parking lot in a former industrial area into Torontos second urban beach at the waters edge.

Located at the foot of Lower Jarvis Street adjacent the Redpath Sugar Factory, this 8500m2 (2 acre) park will be the first public space visitors see as they travel along Queens Quay from the central waterfront. The parks brightly coloured pink beach umbrellas and iconic candy-striped rock outcroppings will welcome visitors to the new waterfront neighbourhood of East Bayfront.
