Overview
Kensington Market: Heart of the City” tells the story of the many generations of immigrants who have made Kensington home for over 160 years, the personalities in the market today, and the forces that are threatening the market’s survival. Today, Kensington is still a delightfully human and colourful alternative to the skyscraper-draped Toronto metropolis shooting up around it. The times are changing, and quickly. The market has managed to hold onto its unique, eclectic charm for over a century. But will Kensington be able to survive?
