About Trinity-Bellwoods
Where to stay in Trinity-Bellwoods
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Four streets box it in. Bathurst Street and Dovercourt Road hold the two sides, College Street the top and Queen Street West the bottom, so a bed in Trinity-Bellwoods is never far from one of those four lines. Dundas Street West splits the difference.
Guests who want the Portuguese-Canadian shops take the Dundas stretch running toward Little Portugal, while anyone after the galleries should look to the Queen Street West end nearer the Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto Canada.
About Trinity-Bellwoods
What are the main landmarks in Trinity-Bellwoods?
Art and parishes share the list. Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto Canada and the Koffler Centre of the Arts give the neighbourhood two exhibition addresses, and the register adds three parish churches to them, so the built roll call runs from gallery floors to naves. One church carries the second half of the neighbourhood's name, St. Matthias Bellwoods, and it stands on the register beside the two galleries.
St. Mary's Church sits on the same list. St. Francis of Assisi Church closes the five names the record fixes to Trinity-Bellwoods, three of them parishes and two of them places to look at art.
What is the history of Trinity-Bellwoods?
Ask when Trinity-Bellwoods began and nothing in the file answers. What the record carries instead is a migration story, a large Portuguese and Brazilian community whose businesses line Dundas Street West and continue west into Little Portugal, where the same street is known as Rua Açores. The name is doubled.
Trinity and Bellwoods both survive in it, and the church of St. Matthias Bellwoods keeps the second half in use as a parish title inside the boundary set by Bathurst Street and Dovercourt Road.
