Don’t let the not-so-pretty name you. Christie comes from Canada’s favourite cookies company, “Mr. Christie, you make goooood cookies!”, need I say more? And the Pits coin comes from the area’s integral role as resource quarry supplier to most structures built in Toronto. The neighbourhood offers easy access to urban transit, eateries and shops. It’s situated between Dupont and Bloor and filled with semi-detached and fully detached homes perfect for families. If you call Christie home, then you’ve been out to see the Toronto Maple Leafs baseball team at Willowvale Park. And if you don’t call it home, not to worry, there’s a little bit of Christie Pits sprinkled in every downtown neighbourhood.
