Canada's Sugar Beach already a hit

June 8, 2010, Toronto, ON— While the official opening of Canada’s Sugar Beach is not slated until August 9, Torontonians are already enjoying the park’s sandy beach, candy-striped rocks and water views.

Located at the water’s edge just east of Jarvis St., across the slip from the Redpath Sugar Factory, Canada’s Sugar Beach is the first park to open in the new East Bayfront neighbourhood.  Waterfront Toronto decided to open the park in time for the July long weekend to give the public a chance to enjoy the whimsical new space while finishing touches are being completed.  Over the next few weeks, temporary lights will be replaced, benches installed and the splash pad hooked up to hydro. Reaction from the public has already been overwhelming positive. Please join Waterfront Toronto and our government partners on August 9 at 10:30am for the official opening.
