@Yunus Emre Your source link on that last one just points back to this thread.

FYI, if you're sharing a photo from Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or Flickr, the preferred method is to use Embed Media and paste a link to the content rather than upload a copy:

Accidental Beach continues to form as water levels drop, finally. The CTV news article stated that the city is not considering the beaches further permanent development, (I hope that can be reconsidered in the future). I think this area could be a viable amenity for the community at large. It is possible that this area is not the best location to invest in such a beachy project, but I feel some inputs to maintain a beach formation and public access are worth critiquing further. Access to the beach is still a little difficult.
Many Canadian cities have proven that the effort to develop river/waterfront into recreation areas is not only viable economically but perhaps more importantly a community builder. Just one example is Sugar Beach in Toronto. https://waterfrontoronto.ca/nbe/portal/waterfront/Home/waterfronthome/projects/canadas+sugar+beach
What about the Rossdale waterfront area for a similar project? Anyways, I hope the beach continues to form as water levels drop reminiscent of what it was in 2017.

A permanent beach would be off the waterway, adjacent to the river, ie) Sugar Beach and much more commercial and 4 season programing. A naturalized beach would be on the bank as in
Accidental Beach (changing seasonal topography) and forward-thinking city planners might look into the possibilities of capitalizing in on that natural resource.
