Description:This year there will be more than 50 artists from around the world participating throughout the city, and the event's Light Parade on Saturday is the first official parade of Pride. History[ edit ] Aerial Photograph of the area, The portion of the neighbourhood bounded by Yonge, Jarvis, Maitland and Carlton Streets was once the estate of Alexander Wood , a merchant and magistrate in Upper Canada who was at the centre of a strange, supposedly sexually related scandal in The most notable bars for the gay subculture were the Parkside Tavern and the St. From the late s through the early s the focus of Toronto's gay subculture was the Yonge and Wellesley area. Other names for the area[ edit ] Wood Street A number of alternative names for Church and Wellesley exist in local vernacular, including the Gay Ghetto, the Village, the Gaybourhood [2] or the Gay Village — however, many of these "nicknames" are generic to gay villages across the English speaking world, and are therefore not descriptive of Church and Wellesley specifically, but of gay villages in general. The Dyke March is a women-only parade that runs on that Saturday afternoon and has a smaller parade route.
