About Us

The Republic of OSS is where we have arrived after a century of diverse growth and constant change, first known as a place to stop and refresh oneself and ones horses on the long trek into Fort York, and now known as an epicenter of dining, dancing, dressing, and designing in the City of Toronto.

The Ossington BIA was born from the desire, by the diverse and dynamic business community, to harness the vibrant energy on Ossington Avenue between Queen and Dundas, gather it up into a focal point, and reflect it out to the rest of our neighborhood, city, and beyond. Meet me on Ossington,
