Since November 2018.

How Has The Neighborhood Changed Around You In The Time? What Are You Most Excited About?
It is nice to see many small businesses opening in the last few years!

“We are close to many big parks in the area, so next time you visit, make it a full day picnic.” 

What Are You Most Excited About?
I can’t wait to see our neighbourhood in full swing, after we reopen from pandemic lockdown. It will be great to go again to Opera House for concerts or Ralph Thorton Community Centre for events.

What's The Best Time To Visit Your Neighborhood?
Summer evenings are the best. We have so many patios and live street events.

Go-to Food Spot?
Indian Spice Room and Mean Bao are some of my favourite.

“Riverside have a special chill vibe. Many of our customers became our close friends. I found people living in this area vibrant and friendly. Bonus, many dogs in our neighbourhood too.“
