HI, IT’S JO:
A little moment from our Mayor’s Reception to kick off the series
Last week, Michael and I had the chance to attend Mayor Olivia Chow’s Annual Appreciation Reception. It was an event that brought together BIAs from across Toronto to celebrate the work happening in each neighbourhood. It was also a reminder of how much potential we have here on The Queensway.
While we were there, we filmed a short teaser that offers a first look at something we have been quietly building behind the scenes featuring Mayor Olivia Chow’s speech about the BIA’s.
Let’s Talk Shop: The Queensway, our new digital docu-series launching in January 2026.
This project has been months in the making. Every story, every interview, and every business visit is designed to humanize the people behind our storefronts and bring their journeys to life. Being at the Mayor’s event, surrounded by BIAs showcasing their neighbourhood pride, felt like the perfect moment to share a small glimpse of what is coming.
You will see that in the teaser. It is a quick introduction to the energy, the people, and the heartbeat of our corridor. It is only a few seconds long, but it captures exactly why this project matters to us.
It is about spotlighting our entrepreneurs.
It is about celebrating the character of The Queensway.
It is about telling the stories that often go unseen.
We cannot wait to share more.
Over the next few weeks, we will release behind-the-scenes photos, filming updates, and new content leading up to the January launch.
Thank you for being part of this community.
And if we have not met yet, I hope we do soon. I would love to hear your story too.
