George O'Neill films the cargo ship Maccoa unloading its cargo of sugarcane into the Redpath Sugar Factory.

Toronto's waterfront has become a place for people to work and play. At the corner of Queen's Quay and Jarvis, there's a Loblaws, the newly opened Sugar Beach, and the planned East Bayfront condominium developments in this former industrial area.

However, real work still gets done by the harbour. One such industrial institution is the Redpath Sugar Factory that has been in operation at the foot of Jarvis Street since 1958.

The factory also houses a museum and a mural of whales by artist Robert Wyland.

Ships like the Maccoa import sugarcane from the Carribbean through the St. Lawrence Seaway to the factory where it is refined into the white and brown sugar we see on store shelves.
