Neighbourhoods
Welcome to Brockton Village! Historical street signs along Dundas Street mark the entrance way to the commercial centre of the neighbourhood. Brockton Village has a large Portuguese community. The influence of this community can be seen in Brockton’s shopping districts and in the brightly painted homes in the neighbourhood.

Thursday's Dufferin Grove Farmers' Market
One of Toronto's oldest farmers' markets. Local, organic & year-round, every Thursday, 3-7 pm. From the beginning, the market’s focus has been to foster direct connections between local organic farmers and urban eaters, through a welcoming weekly gathering. With well over 30 vendors during peak season, the market offers an exceptional selection of local produce, meats, dairy, fair-trade and wild options, as well as other farm products. City-based food producers further build upon our local farm connections by using local ingredients in their prepared foods.
