On Saturday, April 20th, 2024, the Bayview Pixies hosted a seed giveaway to celebrate Earth Day (April 22nd). They were stationed outside of Epi Breads at Bayview & Millwood and gave out approximately 175 seed packs (that’s 4,000 potential plants). If only a quarter of them grow, then they will have added 1,000 native plants to the neighbourhood! That’s something!

They plan on doing another seed giveaway during the Bayview-Leaside BIA AppleFest (Saturday, October 19, 2024). Looking forward to it!

Toronto Fire Services extinguished a fire in the early hours of Saturday morning at Mexico Lindo restaurant (1618 Bayview Ave). The apartment above the restaurant is vacant and there were no injuries reported. Our thoughts are with Mexico Lindo, which had recently reopened after addressing damages caused by a break-in.

Bayview welcomes new faces, façades & community love!

Bayside Medical (Family Physicians) & Bayside Medical Pharmacy has officially opened their doors at 1685 Bayview Avenue, offering medical care and convenient pharmacy services all in one place. Check out their website at www.baysidemedical.ca for more information. Welcome to Bayview!

Leaside Pets (1542 Bayview) revamped their façade with a new, well-centered, accessible entrance.

Bike Depot at 1588 Bayview is gearing up for its grand opening — which could be only weeks away. Their storefront boasts brand new signage while their Instagram account (@bikedepot) reveals sneak previews of the renovations taking place behind the papered glass.

The Bayview Leaside BIA has unveiled new banners along the street, featuring the message “Shop, Dine, Love, Bayview-Leaside!” It’s a reminder to support all the wonderful businesses on our favourite street. 🙂

Hermie’s eatery has opened & Bike Depot pedals to Leaside

Bayview Biz: Fresh additions to our diverse restaurant scene

Signs have been posted announcing the openings of two new restaurant options for the Bayview-Leaside BIA.

Hermie’s will be setting up shop at 1595 Bayview Ave. They closed their popular Filipino & Canadian restaurant at 701 Queen Street East on October 29th, 2023, with hints of a new location on their social media feeds.

Zzavía, is a new pizza place that is set to open at 1597 Bayview Avenue. Their banner says “Reimagine Pizza”. Intriguing, we’re looking forward to it! (A Turkish restaurant was supposed to be opening at 1597 and 1599 Bayview Avenue, but from what we could see through the windows, they started demolition of huge space in 2022, but all work stalled after that.)

Grand opening specials at My Roti Place/My Dosa Place (1574 Bayview Avenue). On December 6th, starting at 11:00am, they will have select dishes including Butter Chicken Roti and Channa Masala Roti (Vegan) on offer for only $4.99.
