Letter from the editor Toronto’s West end is blooming For some of us Etobicoke is home, for others it’s where they work, dine, play, go for jogs, bike rides and strolls along the water front; or just sit with a loved one and watch the sunset over Lake Ontario. For some it’s a gateway to the hustle and bustle of downtown Toronto and for many a goldmine, a place where they forge their legacy and make their mark in the city’s landscape. Watching a neighbourhood’s transformation is incredibly exciting. If you know Etobicoke then you are seeing it turn slowly but surely into a powerhouse, a potential driving force in the GTA economy. Toronto’s west end skyline and streetscapes are being reshaped with towering lakefront condo developments, rows of beautiful townhouses where older bungalows used to sit and new boutique businesses popping up everywhere. Q magazine aims to be your portal to this development and an introduction to the movers and shakers that are not only part of the change but also leading the way. For those wondering, Q stands for the Queensway, the major street that is the western extension of Queen Street West. Q Magazine is coming to you as the reflection and expression of Etobicoke’s greater area revitalization. Each issue will introduce you to the businesses, people, places and events that are helping make this already great neighbourhood even more dynamic, livable and lovable. Since real estate is the most visual transformation of a neighbourhood, we have decided to focus on the local real estate scene for this premier issue. Take a moment and discover some of the West End’s most passionate and committed real estate agents and brokers as they share their market insights and the secrets to their inspiring success. A car for some is an extension of themselves, a first introduction of who they are. Etobicoke is home to The Humberview Group, the leading automotive family business that is matching the wheels with the personality. In this issue we introduce you to some of the driven people who are part of this constantly adapting and innovative organisation. In each edition we will feature an event that has a significant impact on the local economy. Stealing the headlines this season was one of the biggest retail renovations jobs in North America, which took place right here in Etobicoke: the multimillion dollar renovation of CF Sherway Gardens and its much anticipated opening of Saks Fifth Avenue. If you’re reading this, you have a vested interest in the West end, so please reach out and share your comments, suggestions and feedback. Maya S. Merchant Publisher maya@stand-deal.com On the cover: The Humber Bay Bridge Every edition our cover will be a tribute to a popular landmark from the West End. For our launch issue, it had to be the iconic Humber Bay Bridge. The 100-metre span traverses the Humber River with its elegant white arches. It was built in 1994 but the landmark retains a modern, clean look. It is also a powerful symbol of connection in several senses: between the former Old Toronto and Etobicoke municipalities, it runs along an ancient aboriginal trading route, and its design considers a balanced relationship with the environment by avoiding having any disrupting elements in the river. A landmark such as this and the excellent Waterfront Trail also represent an important meeting point for people of the communities that make up Toronto West.
