Eglinton LRT will transform the Golden Mile

Living at WE26 means you are just a stroll from a revolutionary new way of getting around the city. With 25 stations along its dedicated route from Kennedy to Mount Dennis, the Eglinton LRT will get you places much quicker than before—up to 60 percent faster. You’ll be able to travel from the Golden Mile to Yonge & Eglinton, for instance, in about 22 minutes. Faster than a streetcar, bus or subway, the Crosstown LRT’s dedicated lane partly above-ground and partly below, means you will never be stuck behind a line of cars or buses. The Crosstown LRT also connects with more transit across midtown than ever before, accessing the TTC Yonge-University line at both Yonge and Cedarvale, the TTC Bloor-Danforth and Scarborough lines at Kennedy and linking with GO stations and a large network of buses. The Eglinton LRT is due to be completed in 2022.

The city of the future is a stroll away

 Imagine living steps from a renaissance of shopping, restaurants, parks and open spaces? Walking to an area filled with great design, sustainable features like rain gardens and green roofs and public art celebrating the rich history of the Golden Mile? Live at WE26 and you will be just a short stroll from a part of the city that is slated to transform in the coming years. The construction of the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit with five new transit stops within the Golden Mile area is sparking the change. The vision of a mixed-use, transit-supportive community includes bike-share, ride-share and car-share facilities at LRT stops. Knowing that you can walk to the city of the future has its benefits!

Scarborough Museum

February calls for fun! This Family Day, February 17, the place to be is Scarborough Museum at 1007 Brimley Road. Outdoors, build a snowman and take part in an ice cube scavenger hunt. Watch a blacksmith ply his trade. Roast marshmallows by the bonfire, then head inside to warm up in one of the museum’s historic kitchens where you’ll find cooking demonstrations. Don’t leave without enjoying a hearty bowl of potato soup or a mug of hot chocolate. Pay what you can. Set in scenic Thomson Memorial Park on land once farmed by early settlers, the museum includes four heritage buildings including an 1850s log cabin. It’s a popular spot for events, school trips and camps. The museum is about 10 minutes from WE26.
