Can we get back to talking about the subject of this thread. Maybe you guys can create a separate "Sugar thread" so I won't keep getting click bated here for this.

Thanks

Toronto has the 2nd largest food manufacturing sector in north America after Los Angeles. One of the key competitive advantages of our industry is access to refined sugar derived from sugar cane. Factories in the US, for the most part, use corn syrup which isn't considered as good. The Redpath refinery receives sugar cane from the Caribbean by ship and is an integral cog in the wheel.

Younger people seem to equate tech with 'good' and manufacturing with 'bad', One isn't better than the other. Besides, we can't all work for Google.

also Cuba.. cheaper because of J. Trudeau the father .... back in the day and trade...

Yeah, i guess it's old, been there since 1958..that's why it probably isn't going anywhere

they've done lot of upgrades and smells less..from 2009 to the date..

The City lists Lighthouse Tower as 182.3m, is this a mistake?

 

[Automation Gallery]

Yeah 182.3 meters at 48 storeys sounds fishy

Maybe for a Pride event?

They are offloading a load of sugar from a ship that is parked across the mouth of the basin next to Sugar Beach, stretching back along the dock wall where that temporary fence is located. So I guess just a security perimeter.

Yet another reason for Redpath to move its operations...

Sorry, why is this a reason for them to move? Clearly they are demonstrating a reason to stay, ensuring safety from all angles of their operations.

Personally, this factory is one of my favourite staples of the waterfront. It makes chilling at Sugar beach entertaining and unique. And is also a great example of how big factories can live in harmony within a city. We need to celebrate the types of relationships that make Toronto standout from other waterfront cities (a beach outside of a factory).

Could they improve the street side presence off Queens Quay? 100%. But this can be easily achieved without moving to Brampton.
