Junction Triangle

The Junction Triangle is a tiny neighbourhood in Toronto, squeezed in between the Junction, Roncevalles and Bloordale Village. In 2009, a contest was run to come up with a new name for the area - one that was hoped to better distinguish it from the Junction and perhaps reflect its historical ties to the railrood as well as the influx of new residents and businesses gradually gentrifying the area. Worth noting is that Ubisoft has recently opened a large office on Wallace Avenue, yet another sign that the Junction Triangle is a neighbourhood on the rise.
