Kensington Market BIA
Kensington Market area has been known as a cultural mosaic of Canada for centuries. Waves of immigrants – European Jews, Chinese, Portuguese, Jamaican – have made Kensington Market their own before moving on to make room for the next tile of our cultural mosaic. Those culturally rich populations have left their mark on the community, a few square blocks of small food-centric

merchants. Here, shopping is an activity, not a chore, as if supermarkets were never invented. Piles of ripe produce share airspace with the strong smells wafting out of cheese shops. An entire street is dedicated to second-hand clothing stores, perennially supplying the neighbourhood with the young looking for a bargain. While the number of food shops has dwindled, those remaining and emerging become more refined. Now there is a butcher focusing on Ontario meats, a farm-minded organic produce shop. Residents and merchants have rallied around the exclusion of large corporate interests to keep the neighbourhood a community. The hectic streets of Kensington, a chaotic patchwork of bylaws and cultures, can confound city planners and residents alike. But that’s what keeps it fresh. Councillor
