    Abstract:
    The Ward, The Noble Ward, Saint John’s Ward, Old Chinatown, and most recently, the Bay Street Corridor all describe a particular area of Toronto bordered by College Street, Yonge Street, Queen Street, and University Avenue. Historically this area was the landing point for immigrants to Canada and over time became what was considered by the local government to be a slum. Today this area is home to a variety of commercial amenities, and important institutions, most notably: the Cadillac Fairview Toronto Eaton Centre, the New and Old City Hall, Osgoode Hall, Toronto General Hospital, and the Hospital for Sick Children. Through case studies of the various time periods, the people of the neighbourhood can be compared to their historic counterparts, both socio-economically and ethnographically, while also showing the residents’ transitory nature over time.
