Merchants’ Wharf – which topped the list during our ‘Help Name a Waterfront Street’ contest – is the new name for Bayside’s main street. It connects to Queens Quay Boulevard and runs along the water’s edge. When the development is complete, Merchants’ Wharf will provide access to Lake Ontario as well as homes, shops, restaurants and offices in the area.

Splash pads are a fun way for families to cool off and beat the heat on the waterfront this summer.

June 10, 2014, Toronto, ON— A plan to develop 80 affordable rental homes within a mixed-use market condominium building on the Toronto waterfront was adopted by City Council today.

"Congratulations to all of the partners involved in making affordable housing happen in the new East Bayfront community," said Deputy Mayor Norm Kelly. "The approval of the Bayside Pilot Project affirms Toronto's commitment to city residents having the opportunity to live in all neighbourhoods."

On a warm spring day, Canada's Sugar Beach is a pretty great place to soak up the rays and watch the sugar boat (in the background) unload its cargo.
