Ward 6 is being buoyed by revitalization and new investments.
Gentrified, the once working class area is becoming home to young, first-time homebuyers drawn to affordable market-entry homes and the beauty of the lakefront.
The new, $75-million state-of-the-art Toronto Police College, MasterCard Centre for Hockey Excellence four-pad arena and $7-million Humber College retrofit of the decades-old former Lakeshore Lions Arena into the Humber Arts and Media Studios opened in the past year, marking the first significant investments in decades.
A $7-million FIFA artificial turf field donated by Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, domed in winter, to be located in Lakeshore Collegiate’s existing football field in June sparked opposition of some neighbours citing noise, parking and traffic issues.
