2009/10 Toronto Neighbourhood Maps
The latest version of our maps of Toronto neighbourhoods is now out! We're still in the process of distributing them but starting this week you'll be able to find them at stores, cafes and other local businesses throughout our targeted neighbourhoods; most downtown hotels and, if all else fails, on our web site here.
This year, for the 2009/10 edition, we've created four maps for the following neighbourhoods:
- West Queen West + Ossington + Dundas West + Liberty Village
- Parkdale + Roncesvalles Village + The Junction
- King West + Queen West
- Leslieville + Riverside + The Danforth
We've also made some other changes this year including:
- Coupons! Each map now includes coupons for a few select business so now the maps are not only free but they can help save you money as well.
- A new design (black instead of white), a new paper stock to allow the colours and whites to come through more clearly; and more featured local businesses with full colour photos.

Kinda funny that some of the most central neighbourhoods in the city didn't make the cut. The Annex? Cabbagetown? Corktown? It's a very Queen St.-axis biased selection. I look forward to more neighbourhoods next year...
Hm, yeah ... why focus on a street that only crosses most of the city? :P
I'm sure they're on it. I doubt there was any "cut" or any "funny" conspiracy but merely trying to work along logically, or along a path that made logistical sense (e.g. once you started in one neighbourhood, it was easier to pick up info about the closest places, as they intersected).
We created a map for the Annex the last two years but unfortunately we had a really mixed response from the neighbourhood. Some of the newer local businesses and groups like the Mirvish Village BIA were very supportive but others - especially many of the established businesses on Bloor and Harbord - didn't buy into the idea. Without broad support by local businesses in the community creating a map isn't really feasible for us.
guys and dolls, please give credit where credit is due. don't hate. it's awesome that he's even doing these.
Yorkville? It's a tourist trap. There's nothing there. Who on earth would need a map for that?
