Kensington Market is one of Toronto’s most iconic neighborhoods, but it’s changing. Longtime shops are closing, grocers are disappearing, and the market’s identity is shifting. In this video, I explore what’s happening to Kensington Market, why businesses are struggling, and how changes in shopping habits, tourism, and urban development are transforming the area.
We’ll look at recent closures, reflect on Kensington’s history, and ask: what does the future hold for a neighborhood that’s always been a little chaotic?
