Canary neighbourhood to grow on the Don Lands

CTV is profiling the imminent construction of buildings that will accommodate athletes and others attending the Pan Am Games two years hence. The area will be called the Canary neighborhood, it is said, and will take its name from the familiar but seldom frequented Canary Restaurant at the corner of Front and Cherry Streets. The place has been closed six years now but its memory clearly lingers. To complete the story of the Canary neighbborhood it would be good to know not just about the restaurant, but by what odd and highly personal way it got this name. It seems possible however that this might never be known.  CTV
