As back-to-school and pumpkin spiced latte season settles in, it’s the perfect time to explore the charming Eglinton Way neighborhood. This vibrant community at the north end of Forest Hill offers a delightful mix of boutiques, services and eateries – making it an ideal destination for fall adventures.
This Saturday September 9th from 10am – 3pm the Eglinton Way BIA is presenting their Artwalk Sculpture Launch – where they will be honouring their newly installed sculptures and unveiling plans for installation of 6 new sculptures! Join them at the south-east corner of Chaplin Crescent and Eglinton Avenue West at 10am for the opening ceremony and light refreshments. Throughout the day there will be meet and greets with the artists, and art workshops for all – including LEGO, chalk, collaging and colouring!
With so much to discover along the Eglinton Way, here are a few businesses weโd like to highlight this Fallโฆ
