The grand opening of the Sunnyside flood barrier took place on Saturday morning, September 26, 2026. The 2.4-kilometre barrier is designed to protect the area from floods comparable to those experienced in 2013, a one-in-100-year event. While the project has been operational since May, some road and pathway closures remain, with final restoration expected by the end of October.
