Life In Mimico

Being the gateway to Toronto’s west-end waterfront neighbourhoods, Mimico has a feel of a small lake town in a big city. This well-established neighbourhood is well known for its scenic lakefront parks and extensive recreational facilities. Mimico has experienced a change in demographic in recent years thanks to high real estate activity.

Its boundaries include Lake Ontario to the south, a line midway between Fleeceline Road and Louisa Street to the east, Evans Avenue, Algoma Street and Manitoba Street to the north and Dwight Avenue (south of the railway) and St. George Street to the west.
