CC37.1 - C'est What Brewing at the Market By-the-Glass Permit Application to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario​

Consideration Type: ACTIONWard: 13 - Toronto Centre

Origin​

(February 3, 2026) Report from Mayor Olivia Chow

Recommendations​

The Mayor recommends that:

1. City Council advise the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario of its support of the application from C'est What Brewing at the Market at 91 Front Street East, for a Manufacturer’s Limited Liquor Sales License for sales by the glass.

Summary​

Craft beer pioneers Durham Brewing Company, propose to open a small craft brewery, beer store, and tasting room named C'est What Brewing at the Market on the lower level of the St. Lawrence Market South Market building. The new store would offer an immersive experience through a guest brewer program, food and beer education, and the consumer testing of new recipes.

In 1988, the owners of Durham Brewing Company founded C’est What, Toronto’s first craft beer bar. For over 36 years at their location at 67 Front Street East, C'est What has been a key advocate of the local beer industry, helping to bring craft beer into mainstream acceptance. Their master brewer is the well-respected Michael Duggan who has over forty years experience in the industry and was the founding brewer of Mill Street Brewery.

The Nealon House building at 197 King East, formerly part of the Sonder empire that went bankrupt last year, has now been taken over by a Canadian aparthotel company called Nester & Finn. The signage is already changed and the location is available to book on their website. I'm glad to see that the building will not sit empty. I hope they make this work -- and I hope they find a cafe or restaurant or similar tenant for the ground floor, too.
 
At last nights St lawrence Neighbourhoood meeting, the City gave a preview of work on David Crombie Park. I assume a dry-run of the public presentations on March 2.

The original plan for this was approved back in 2020/2021. Six years later, will we actually see some shovels in the ground? I hope so. But I notice the most interesting and arguably most important parts -- the cycle track rebuild and the proper dog park -- are still years out.

The dog park and baseball diamond were removed from this phase of the plan several years ago. Not dead but there are conflicts between those who want a fenced dog park vs those who want to retain an open 'playing field'. The work on that block will certainly happen but not for several more years. I agree that the bike track work is taking longer than I would like but I guess it makes sense to finish Park stuff first.

It looks like a good place to work. The fridge is full before the work is done.

Scott St sewer bypass work in progress between Front and The Esplanade.
This was a pumped system which was converted to a gravity system a few years ago and then they decided to add a bypass. This temporary above ground pump and pipe system is to allow the underground bypass to be installed.

Capable of pumping 3,500 usgpm of “solids” each. Lots of large plastic pipes, manifolds, valves and five diesel pumps some for back-up I hope.
They plan to work 24 hours a day starting Tuesday March 10th at 7:00 pm for ~5 days.

I hope nothing goes wrong during the changeover as we all know what flows downhill. Maybe I will move my car from underground parking this week. :)
Fingers crossed.

If you get an emergency notice to stop using your washroom upstream you know why.

Very interesting shots!! Since they changed the system a few years ago the almost constant sewer gas smells from the manholes at Front/Yonge @ Sony/Meridian seem to have been solved. Let's hope the new by-pass does not revert that!!!
 
In the summer of 2023 the City’s contractor installed two deep manholes and micro-drilled a 1 metre diameter horizontal line to bypass the Scott St. pumping station to allow the sewer to gravity feed the line east on The Esplanade to the next pumping station on the way to Ashbridges Bay. (I assume)

I would sure like to see a schematic and elevation diagram of this system.

The temporary bypass below is still in progress. They will be testing the pumps and then operating them continuous until the new bypass is installed. The whole project was to be completed by June 2026 but my guess is that they will be done 100% before…….…. World Cup.
