Decompoz - September 2015

After exploring the artists, entrepreneurs, musicians, and designers of Montreal, we knew we needed to further discover what other Canadian metropolises had to offer. As the city with the largest population in Canada, Toronto was the obvious choice; its diverse neighbourhoods that each boast their own character and distinctive architecture hint at a population with equally varied souls.

On our quest to uncover each city’s unique urbanity, the Dream Team set off on our first road trip in our trusty (and rusty) mini van. It’s a miracle we managed to fit five humans armed with luggage and film equipment into one car, but that’s the benefit of trading style for comfort, right? In our second edition, we spoke exclusively with Toronto’s urban culture curators to get a better understanding of the city and the people who call it home.

From Kensington Market to the Distillery District to Yonge and Dundas, Toronto has no shortage of amazing talents and experiences; we partied with DJ Miss Tara on Canada Day (which also happened to be her birthday!), chilled in a ball pit with Lovebot’s Matthew Del Degan, drank a watermelon keg with School House Booze, and took home custom artwork from Nirun and Jimmy Chiale.
