Redpath Sugar Recognized by City of Toronto as it Celebrates 60th Anniversary Operating on Toronto’s Waterfront
May 25 2019 - 11:24AM
Redpath Sugar Ltd. (“Redpath”) is celebrating 60 years of operating
on Toronto’s Waterfront during the City’s Doors Open event, a
community initiative it has been a participant of since it first
began 20 years ago. The local plant was recognized this morning by
the City of Toronto for its contributions to the community and the
value it continues to add economically.
Redpath’s waterfront plant supplies various
sugar products to the Canadian market, ranging from grocery stores
to food manufacturers. As such, Deputy Mayer and City Councillor
Michael Thompson presented representatives from Redpath with a
scroll acknowledging the significance of the plant’s impact on both
the local community and economy. Among remarks was mention of
Redpath’s consistent stance as a partner and willing participant in
the City’s initiatives – even when that has meant change and
adjustments for the plant.
“It has been a unique and rewarding experience
operating on the waterfront,” said Phil Guglielmi, General Manager
of Redpath. “Throughout the years we have adjusted to rapid
development and change, working alongside the City to ensure that
we can continue operating efficiently while also positively
impacting our immediate environment and the City at large.”
Being one of the last industrial establishments
in the Toronto Harbour, Redpath has navigated the City’s growth by
embracing various technological and environmental advancements. The
plant continues to thrive in their operations while simultaneously
working in line with the needs of the City and will remain a
landmark on Toronto’s waterfront for many more years to
come.
Redpath invites members of the community to
their on-site museum where they can learn first-hand the unique
history of the Company. The museum is open on weekdays and
admission is free to all visitors.
