Summer in the Village

Summer continues in the Village! We all love the summer feeling in the village and strolling along Richmond Road.

We are thrilled to have two more nights with Capital Pop Up Cinema – Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory on August 11th and School of Rock on September 8th. Come down to the village early for a bit of shopping on the street and with our friends from Vintage Pop Up 613, grab dinner and watch a movie with your neighbours.

It has also been a summer of trying all the amazing frozen treats in Westboro Village. From ice cream sandwiches to gelato, popsicles to banana splits, there are so many choices. Have you had a chance to experience the best frozen treat Westboro Village has to offer? Share your favourite with us on social media.

This August many businesses will also be celebrating with Capital Pride. For some they offered special treats or donations in June for global Pride month and for others they are recognizing the local Pride celebrations. As a BIA we hosted a learning night for businesses in June so we can learn more about the history of Pride, evolving language and what it means for our businesses. We offer these learning sessions for our businesses to learn and grow to build a stronger, inclusive community.
