According to Olivia Chow, the name of the community centre is temporary.
It's going to be given an Aboriginal name eventually.
TBD but we may very well see the longest name ever here....

Something I found myself wondering about the other day- why is the corner of the new promenade fenced off?
The corner by the ferry slip has the Captain Johns sign but nothing else. West of there it’s just a mooring point. Sugar beach is the same. And it’s all ankle level railing along the whole way.
So why is this particular corner fenced up?

Honestly, the sense I get is that we’re in a quiet recession, the tariff war has hard goods in a tizzy, everyone orders from Amazon now and there’s likely some pull back on money for dining out. Aquabella or aquavelva next door has been empty this whole time and we’re seeing experiential stuff like rock climbing and golf simulators go in ground level in newer builds.
I’d be surprised if we see retail here before Queens Quay gets straightened.

All these overpriced condos should come with a nice big potted plant on each balcony

It is clearly temporary - I assume they need some special kind of fence at the corner and it's on 'back-order' but did not want people to fall through the gap. This project has, to date, been done very well so i would not lose any sleep over this. It will get tidied up in due course.

There are 2 very different economies at the moment depending on income bracket and based on the pricing of these units the occupants ought to be in the "thriving" portion of the economy; though there are a small number of them. 18,000 sqft will be hard to fill but I can see a couple water-facing fine dining options which also do in-building event catering having decent income.

100 percent agreed.

The 'recession' is much more of a problem than the fact that WT and the City still need to do LOTS of work on Queen's Quay East (including the straightening). That said, if I were looking at opening a retail or food service operation I would probably avoid a street where major streetwork is anticipated in the next few years and one where many residential units are still under construction.
