The Junction : Featured Stories

Toronto's changing labour landscape has created a whole new kind of workspace. 

Letter from Yonge Street's new Managing Editor. 

With its first title released on August 20, Ubisoft Toronto has a lot to celebrate. So does its neighbourhood, the Junction, which has developed progressively since the video game studio moved in back in 2009. 

Local SPIN-farmers are using small plots of land to grow fresh produce in urban environments. The movement supports eating locally, all while creating jobs and taking advantage of underused backyards. 

The Junction has always been one of Toronto's most distinctive areas. But the recent influx of entrepreneurs has given its retro main street a much more fashionable vibe.

Toronto nonprofit developers Options for Homes fill a niche between market-based condominiums and traditional affordable housing by creating projects that are in the price range for people who might not otherwise be able to own their own home. In this Yonge Street Video we visit their new Village by High Park project in The Junction.
