And here it is (drum roll?):

Approve the park name, Canoe Landing, as selected by the judging panel in the public competition, for the new park in the City Place neighbourhood, on the north side of Fort York Boulevard, between Spadina Avenue and Bathurst Street.

I don't like it. There's no "landing", hell, there's no water on-site or nearby (yes, I know there's an over-sized canoe art feature there) it just sounds... embarrassing.
First The Cheapening™ now a stupid name that sounds like an area of beach in the Muskokas
 
The impression one gets is that they dodged the responsibility to find a meaningful name to the greater community.
 
not bad...it will certainly bring attention to the canoe....
 
LOL. Canoe Landing is the name of my condo/townhouse out in Pickering. At least here there's an actual canoe :)
 
They've put up 4 sets of flood lights around the new artificial field. Didn't see that coming. They're on incredibly high poles...

Probably for community competitive soccer, great news.:) The city now can also start making some money with rental permits of the field.

Ooo - I should have updated the name of the thread now that the City has settled on Canoe Stranding. Will do that right away.

I always thought it looked more like Canoe Launchpad. I should sneak in there one night and put big red rocket boosters on the canoe.

I predict that in ten years it will be renamed for a person.
 
What a crumby name! Doesn't mean a damned thing! The name "Towers View Park" would have been much more appropriate. Oh well.
