St. Clair West's greatest success stories come from within the community

From old to new, St. Clair West is a neighbourhood in transition. While the right-of-way streetcar plan continues to divide the area, businesses are growing and the streets are becoming more beautiful. The common thread? The community itself. 

Inclusive mobile technology will increase job opportunities for those with disabilities

At Komodo OpenLab, it's not just the innovations but the innovators that make the company unique. In partnership with Toronto colleges, software developer Eric Wan helped create a revolutionary product that is allowing people with disabilities--including himself--to control mobile devices through wheelchairs.

Downtown Eastside - Old Town - Corktown

Toronto's Downtown Eastside is a collection of neighbourhoods, some the oldest in Toronto, beginning at Yonge Street and stretching east to the Don River. The brightest spot - literally - is Dundas Square, and is at the city's commercial heart. Nearby is the St. Lawrence neighbourhood, anchored by the market of the same name, in operation in some form since the early 1800s. Adjacent are the Old Town and Corktown neighbourhoods that are filled with Victorian rowhouses and many of Toronto's creative industries. The Distillery District near the Don River is one of Toronto's greatest adaptive reuse stories: the old Gooderham and Worts whisky distillery has been converted into shops, theatres and art spaces.
