 From Bathurst to Bellwoods Ave, designers are on exhibit in the shop windows of our small strip. It's completely free - you can wander up and down Dundas West, look through the windows to see what's on display, or go into the shops and studios to get a closer look.

Construction at Dundas W & Bathurst

There is some construction on Bathurst intersecting with Dundas West, which is our major intersection to the East. If you are driving, I would suggest coming to us from the north on College, and there is some good residential street parking around the neighbourhood.
