Church-Wellesley Village BIA

The Church Wellesley Village is one of Canada’s most vibrant communities and was formally recognized as a BIA in 2002. In 1826, Alexander Wood, a pioneering gay magistrate and merchant, bought the land on which our community now sits. Being a molly, as gay men were known then, the locals came to call the area Molly Wood’s Bush.

The shops, restaurants, bars, and other businesses of the Village are known for their friendly, helpful and entertaining atmosphere. Throughout the year we are the home of many exciting events including Pride Week, the Church Street Fetish Fair and Halloween.
