The rain is also expected to continue to raise the level of Lake Ontario which is already 60 centimetres higher than normal. Parts of the Beach and Ashbridges Bay in Toronto’s east end are under water, the shoreline is eroding in other places and the break-wall between Ontario Place and the Humber River is now virtually useless.
