Rebekah Nolan reports from Bloor West Village , a small community of shops on the west end of Toronto . Initially home to the heart of the city’s Ukrainian community, Bloor West Village is now a multicultural hub. This enclave of mom and pop shops has existed since the 1920s and has a definite small town feel to it.
