Located along Bloor Street West, from Montrose Avenue to Dufferin, Bloorcourt Village, which became a BIA in 1979, is well known for its great variety of shops and services catering to all tastes and ages. Shoppers are pleasantly surprised at the reasonable price ranges to be found here.

The ethnic mix includes Portuguese, Italian, Greek, Japanese, Korean, Ukrainian, Ethiopian, Eritrean and Caribbean to name a few. A well-known shopper attraction is the Long & McQuade Musical Instruments store, a strong supporter of the musical arts community.
