It's been repositioned and raised, but over the last 100 years the Leuty Lifeguard Station has remained an iconic landmark in Toronto's east end Beach district

Not being from Toronto, I was not familiar with this. I did a search on the Internet to learn more about it and found a CBC Toronto piece on the 100 year anniversary of the station. One thing featured in that piece was a project that a woman had done where she took a picture of the lifeguard station every day for a year, capturing the life is it passed by. Fascinating to see all those shots put together, one after another, animating the year. You have a lovely shot of it here.
@marlboromaam - thanks maam - The Leuty Lifeguard Station is still the headquarters every summer for many of Toronto’s lifeguards and the staff have been credited with saving over 6,000 lives during the Station’s 100-year history :)
