Neighborhood History

Bloorcourt Village is a west-end Toronto strip running along Bloor Street West between Montrose Avenue and Dufferin Street, just south of the Dovercourt Park neighbourhood. Its earliest dated landmark is the Bloor/Gladstone branch of the Toronto Public Library, designed by Chapman and McGiffin Architects and opened on October 25, 1913 as one of the city's Carnegie-era branches. The surrounding strip became a formal Business Improvement Area in 1979.

The library has been renovated twice — in 1975–76, and again in 2006–09, when it gained a glass-box addition. Today Bloorcourt's storefronts reflect Portuguese, Italian, Greek, Japanese, Korean, Ukrainian and Jamaican communities living alongside Dufferin Grove and Dovercourt-Wallace, and the BIA's Sidewalk Sale and Music Festival each June has become the strip's signature event.

The Bloorcourt tee is for the people who keep this stretch of Bloor running — a 1913 library at its edge and many languages along the sidewalk.
