What are some nice camping areas in southern Ontario?

What Areas/ streets in Downtown Toronto, Ontario are bad?

  • Okay so I'm a white 19 year old girl from Sudbury, Ontario, and I just moved to Downtown Toronto, Ontario. I am trying to find a part time job, but I'm worried about what areas are bad to walk home in the dark....My residence is near Gerrard and Church st... and yea i was just wondering if anyone could let me know of what streets not to give out resumes on. Please only serious answers from people who live or used to live in Toronto.Oh and I'm not going further up North from Bloor st W and no further length ways than Bathurst st(WEST side) and Jarvis St(EAST side)

  • Answer:

    Basically, east of downtown. Everything west of Yonge is fine, and between Yonge and Jarvis, it's less so. (south of King is OK, north of Carleton is OK). It might be wise to avoid the Entertainment district (between King and Queen, west of University to Bathurst or so) as it can get pretty rowdy on Friday nights. Don't bother in Chinatown (Spadina) as they won't hire you but even if they did there are some pretty blatant violations of labour laws there. Go look at like shops at the Eaton Centre or in the PATH, or along Bloor or Queen. If it's comfortable and busy during the day you'll be fine. Where you live is actually one of the sketchier parts of downtown, so if you're ok walking at night there you're pretty fine anywhere.

Gerrard and Church is a really safe area, it's in the gay district of town. I would strongly recommend you avoid anything from Parliment east to the DVP, lakeshore to the south and Bloor to the north. Theres some very seedy to bad hoods there such as regents park, plus the area along sherbourne just past Union station is really unlit, and shady looking, not safe for a 19 year old female to be wandering alone. Also the downtown itself is pretty safe between 9pm-10:00PM if your walking alone, watch your back when your walking anywhere downtown from 11-8am because theres a lot of drunks and druggies out either drunk or looking for alchol/drugs anyway possible. Hope this helps.
