NEW! SLNA Events Calendar


This is actually a misleading headline as the SLNA Events Calendar is far from new, but it isn't being used by most of our community so in a way it is new to many of our readers!

If you're trying to find out what wonderful event, performance, exhibit or other activity is happening in the St. Lawrence neighbourhood or surrounding area in the downtown Toronto core, we invite you to vist the SLNA Calendar at this link: https://www.slna.ca/calendar.html.

You can also SUBMIT events or activities you are aware of directly to our calendar using the tool on the website. Your submission will be reviewed and published if appropriate.

Appropriate submissions are open to general audiences, located primarily in the St. Lawrence neighbourhood but may include surrounding areas like the Distillery District, The Lakefront, Corktown, Cabbage Town and other downtown Toronto core neighbourhoods (depending on the event/activity).

For example a popular exhibit at the Royal Ontario Museum could be included in our calendar because it is the kind of high profile downtown family event that residents in our neighbourhood would appreciate.
