​Ontario Line Update: King St. E & Berkeley St.

Today, the province released the initial renderings of 14 stations along the 15.6 kilometre Ontario Line that will provide rapid transit between Exhibition/Ontario Place and the Ontario Science Centre. The initial station renderings show early planning and design concepts for the Ontario Line stations, which will connect to more than 40 other transit routes, including GO train lines, existing TTC subway and streetcar lines, and the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit line.

Pictured above is the rendering for the station in our neighbourhood (still to be named) and it will be located at the corner of King St. E. and Berkeley St.

Read Metrolinx update for our neighbourhood station here.

The following article was written by a St. Lawrence Neighbourhood resident - we hope you enjoy it!

Back on the BoardsA Local Actor Survives the Pandemic and Hits the Stage
in the Merry-Go-Round Project


By: Viviana Zarrillo

I’m an actor who is also your neighbour in the St. Lawrence Market area. But given that PAL, The Performing Arts Lodge, is also in the neighbourhood, I’m hardly unique. Actually there are so many actors around these parts, you couldn’t swing a cat without hitting one! And, like all of them (and many of you) our livelihoods pretty much evaporated 2 years ago when Covid 19 arrived on our doorsteps. But also like many of you, the need to overcome, to continue and to somehow keep working could not be constrained for long and adaptations were made. Cue the pivoting!...

The REmarket Donation Day organized by the St Lawrence Neighbourhood Association Waste Reduction Group (WRG) on February 10th was a huge success ! 

The SLNA Waste Reduction Group wants to thank St. Lawrence Neighbourhood residents for their donations to REmarket. 

We also want to thank our partners (St. Lawrence Market, St. Lawrence Market BIA, Salvation Army, Renewed Computer Technologies (RCT), Prosthetics for Foreign Donation (PFFD Inc.), Optic Zone and Staples), and our WRG volunteers for making this third donation event such a success.

We extend a special note of gratitude to Kevin from the St Lawrence Market BIA for all his assistance.  

The REmarket Donation Day resulted in:
  • 48.5 skids of textiles, books, and houseware for the Salvation Army... 3.5 truckloads  
  • 5 skids of electronics for RCT (Renewed Computer Technology)
  • A large number of mobility aids (crutches, canes, walkers, etc.) for PFFD Inc. which will be sent to prosthetic clinics in Guyana, Gambia, and Jamaica
  • A large garbage bag full of eyeglasses for Optic Zone to be redistributed overseas.
  • A large number of pens and other writing instruments, ink cartridges and batteries to be recycled responsibly by Staples 

We have included a few pictures from the event:
