Summary

Part of Toronto’s Hanlan’s Point Beach remains closed as erosion and high water levels continue to reshape the shoreline. The closure affects a site deeply connected to both Canadian LGBTQ+ history and clothing-optional recreation, including the location associated with the country’s first Pride gathering in 1971. As advocates push for restoration, the beach has become a reminder that cultural landmarks can be lost not only through policy decisions, but through environmental change.
