Neighbourhood

Simply put, there has never been anything like the Distillery District.

The Distillery District is a unique collection of old and new, familiar and surprising, but always exciting and inspiring. To quote the founders: “Our vision was to combine the romance and relaxing atmosphere of European walking and patio districts with the hip, cool dynamic of an area like New York City’s SoHo or Chelsea, where creative minds get together and you feel as if anything could happen.”

Sugar Beach...Sweet!

Canada’s Sugar Beach allows visitors to while away the afternoon as they read, play in the sand or watch boats on the lake. A dynamic water feature beside the beach makes cooling off fun for adults and children. Between the plaza and the beach, people can stroll through the park along a promenade featuring granite and tumbled concrete cobblestones in a maple leaf mosaic pattern.
