Yonge Street Parking Lot Construction
Upper Canada is committed to bringing the brands you love closer to home and facilitating a community-centric space for all. As part of our dedication to our community, we seek to enhance our infrastructure and are working alongside the Region to provide easier traffic flow and accessibility to the shopping centre. There are many parking lots and entrances available to people who look to us as a recreational and shopping destination and our guests’ visit is our top priority. While this project is a brief inconvenience for guests, we guarantee the eventual benefit in the foreseeable future.
