Toronto is on the list of growing international cities that claim to having more than one “gay village”. As most visitors to the city believe, Church and Wellesley is the hub of gay activity when planning a vacation or stop over. However, the west end of the city has gradually carved out a place on the map, known locally as the “Queer West Village,” or QWV. There has been a significant queer presence in this area for several years, but it only recently it started gaining recognition as a viable gay alternative to the Church Street Village.
