Your Very Last Chance to Rename Sherbourne Park

At midnight tonight—that’s Tuesday night—Torontoist and Waterfront Toronto’s competition to let the public choose a new name for Sherbourne Park ends.
The three finalists left standing after one round of public submissions and one round of semi-finalist voting are:

• Merchant’s Wharf Park, for “the old pier that once stood at the foot of Sherbourne Street”;
• Sherbourne Commons, which’d “belong to the people without regulatory restriction or proprietary requirement”; and
• Tkaronto Park, which is believed to be “from the Iroquoian ‘tkaronto,’ which means ‘where there are trees standing in the water.'”

As of the time that we’re writing this, the race between the names could hardly be closer—which means your vote, for your favourite, matters. Vote here now.
