How much did all the sand on Sugar Beach cost?

$337,500

—The cost of buying, shipping and installing all the sand—1,500 cubic metres’ worth—on Sugar Beach, according to a new posting on Waterfront Toronto’s website. (This sand, incidentally, is no ordinary stuff: it’s a special type selected specifically because it allows drainage and resists blowing away.) Waterfront Toronto has come under criticism lately for expenses related to other parts of Sugar Beach, like its umbrellas and its imported rock outcropping.
