Pacific Mall and the Ward

College West: Before espresso bars on College West, according to Toronto Star. And long before the Pacific Mall. Before Kensington synagogues. Before all of these, there was The Ward. It was home to our city first go at multiculturalism — where African-Canadian, Chinese, Jewish, Italian and other newcomers set up businesses, homes and a community. The Ward was Toronto first immigrant neighbourhood, an area that spanned between College St. to the north, Queen St. to the south, Yonge St. to the east and University Ave. to the west.
