We recently launched an interactive map to assist residents, visitors and workers of our area with discovering our vibrant neighbourhood. The interactive map located on our website allows users to navigate the Willowdale BIA with ease.
The map features underground pathways with entrances connected to Sheppard-Yonge, North York Centre, and Finch subway stations. Member businesses, residents and tourists can pre plan their route to their preferred local attractions, parks, and artworks. They can also take alternative routes to get to their favourite restaurants, services and entertainment establishments. Reach several office/commercial buildings and shopping centres within minutes. Preview the map to determine the closest parking options or where the nearest public washroom is located. We invite you to try our new interactive map experience while you shop, eat and play in our district.

Celebrate Asian Heritage Month with a collage workshop focusing on the theme of leftover food using discarded materials from everyday life.
Emerging historian Jingshu Yao from Heritage Toronto will present “Leftover Ingredients”, featuring artist Zhu Dandan.
In traditional Chinese Culture, fish (鱼, Yu) is a dish typically eaten during celebrations. It is a homophone of surplus, leftovers (余, Yu). In a modern context where sustainability has become essential, the concept of leftover needs a new interpretation.
Location: North York Central Library, 5120 Yonge Street, Room 101
The workshop will begin with a presentation on Heritage Toronto’s North York Recipes for Healing project.
Then participants will use waste and surplus materials to create a collage that represents their story about leftover food. Potential materials range from old newspapers, magazines, and gift wrappers to fabrics, plastics, dried leaves and flowers.
Registration is encouraged.
