GREEKTOWN

Established in 1981, GreekTown on the Danforth BIA is the largest Greek neighbourhood in North America. In the early 1980s, the area was home to the second largest concentration of Hellenic immigrants living outside of Greece. A stroll down their streets displays colourful and distinctive blue and white signs and street names in both Greek and English – a celebration of their heritage and Canada’s multiculturalism. With Toronto finally entering Stage 3, expanded indoor and outdoor social gatherings means businesses on the Danforth can welcome back the community. Meanwhile, the Destination Danforth project has been under way since mid-July – a project that supports local businesses by providing safe walking and cycling infrastructure and adequate room for physical distancing by creating additional patios. While visitors will continue to see these changes for months to come, the neighbourhood’s bustle never goes away.
