Local Love
Using the Not Amazon Toronto website, I've compiled a list of local shops, many of which are female, BIPOC and/or LGBTQ+ owned and also often support social causes and the communities they're located in. They are organized by neighbourhood from west to east Toronto, and you can hover over each map to see the neighbourhood name. When hovering over each store's square, you'll see a brief description, whereas clicking on the store's name will bring you to their website.
