Mill + Parliament

 

Mill St and Parliament St Station is located in The Distillery District.

 

Deployed in June 2018, this 15 dock station has accumulated over 33,000 rides in 16 months! One of most popular locations in the area, this station is found on the North West corner of The Distillery District. The city’s historic cobble-stoned and pedestrian-only village dates back to 1831 when James Worts came to Canada and opened a mill for grinding grain with his brother-in-law, William Gooderham. Becoming one of the largest exporters in spirit production across North America by 1871 and known for their Canadian Club Whiskey by 1927, the Gooderham & Worts name still hangs in our Distillery District – despite closing up shop in 1990 after 153 years of production. Purchased by Cityscape Holdings in 2001, this neighbourhood went through a huge makeover to transform it into a beautiful, car-free community known for arts, culture and entertainment. Now a fundamental component to Toronto’s identity and a National Historic Site of Canada, this area is a must-see for both locals and visitors.
