Shop and dine on Woodbridge Avenue!

Plenty of parking is available in the area. Designated parking spots at 7971 Kipling Ave. (in the Faith Deliverance International Ministries Church parking lot) and 140 Woodbridge Avenue (Marketlane Shopping Centre) offer easy access to shops and services along Woodbridge Avenue while the street undergoes improvements. 

Unwind at a spa
