NOTE: As of this morning, September 27, we have confirmation of a visit to the Redpath Sugar Museum!
Also, since September 24, last Friday, Sugar Beach has outgrown its newest-park status. The title now goes to Sherbourne Common Park, located a stone's throw from Sugar Beach. Who knows, but we may just add another stop to our itinerary! Bring really good walking shoes and a load of energy bars!



Again setting off from Sheppard-Yonge Subway Station's Southbound Platform at 9:30 a.m., our next field trip takes us to one of Toronto's newest downtown destinations, Canada's Sugar Beach.
