    Thank You

    Thank you to the merchants of Baby Point Gates, and to everyone who came out to enjoy a fantastic family event. The 7th Annual ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside’ Open House and Sidewalk Sale was so much fun. We can’t wait to do it again next year!

    Charity Strawberry Festival in Support of SickKids

    Our 5th Annual Charity Strawberry Festival for SickKids took place on June 17, 2018. Participating merchants had delicious strawberry treats available for $2 donations. We also sold quarts of fresh Ontario strawberries for $5 at the new Baby Point Gates Gardens located at Jane & Metheun. All money raised went to support the wonderful work being done to help children at SickKids hospital.
