So today, the Simcoe Wavedeck was supposed to launch but maybe they needed another day to get things today. With all that last minute work, we finally see how they intend to deal with those high 'waves'. We always thought they were a little dangerous looking, but knowing how careful Toronto can get, they installed railings that should pretty much keep most people away from the waves. We can see how now people are going to go up there for pictures.
Anyhow, here's the 'launch' notice for Friday.
Please note the Simcoe WaveDeck opening
scheduled for Thursday, June 11 will now occur on Friday, June 12 at 10:00
a.m. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Waterfront Toronto together with the Government of Canada, Province of
Ontario and City of Toronto will officially open the Simcoe WaveDeck on
Friday, June 12.
The Simcoe WaveDeck is the second and most dramatic urban dock being
built along Toronto's central waterfront. This uniquely Canadian structure
features an informal public amphitheatre-style space with impressive curves
that soar as high as 2.6 metres above the lake.
That's kind of lame. I thought it looked fun, but the railings? I think they ruin it. We Canadians are too safety-obsessed.
