Asphalt Parking Lot Transformed into Striking New Waterfront Landmark
July 1, 2013, Toronto, ON – In a special Canada Day ceremony, Waterfront Toronto, Harbourfront Centre and the Government of Canada, officially opened Canada Square, a new landmark in the heart of Toronto’s waterfront. In the spirit of great European plazas, Canada Square offers a new place for people to gather and enjoy beautifully framed views of Lake Ontario and Toronto’s skyline under a canopy of majestic redwood trees.
