Elia is a culturally diverse neighbourhood that has traditionally been home to many new Canadian families. Elia’s plethora of high-rise apartment buildings in the Jane and Finch corridor help make it one of Toronto’s most densely populated neighbourhoods. York University and Black Creek Pioneer Village are located at the north end of this neighbourhood off Steeles Avenue. The Black Creek meanders through a series of connecting parks in the centre of this community providing an ideal recreational greenspace for residents to enjoy.
