Would be cool if they could incorporate features that make it more amenable and inviting to passersby, like a small sugar museum, a sugar sampling shack, a sugar-themed cafe, or an exhibit about the history of sugar refining in Canada, idk.

is there somewhere else that would be more practical from a business standpoint? I mean, if there was a greater advantage to being further up the St Lawrence, they’d have moved there ages ago right? And if there was some reason that further west on Lake Ontario was beneficial, they’d have made that move by now.

Redpath was founded in Montreal in 1854: they opened here only in 1959 when the Seaway opened to get closer to major customers.
