Location is another standout Shirley Street Junior Public School & McCormick Arena are just a 2-3 minute walk. The surrounding west-end neighbourhood offers convenient access to the Dundas Street West corridor, TTC streetcar service, Lansdowne and Dundas West subway stations, Bloor GO/UP Express, as well as nearby shops, restaurants, groceries and every day amenities.
