Taking root at 1650 Dupont Street, Grain is a new way of thinking. It’s a movement toward more sustainable construction and healthier cities. By using Cross-Laminated Timber, made from spruce, fir, and pine grown in certified-renewable forests in Northern Ontario, we’re planting the idea that Torontonians deserve mass timber construction.

A local residents group that organized under the name Fuzzy Boundaries initiated a year long campaign encouraging residents to put forward and debate potential names for their neighbourhood. In the end more than 200 names were suggested and 674 votes were cast. The winning name announced in March 2010 is Junction Triangle. Ironically this was the first name coined for this neighbourhood back in the 1970s. The name had largely fallen out of use, but now promises to be revived.
