HUMBER BAY & HUMBER BAY SHORES

Humber Bay neighbourhood is bound on the west by the Mimico Creek and on the east by the Humber River Valley. These natural boundaries have shaped the topography of this area, which features rolling hills and many mature trees.

 

The history of the Humber Bay neighbourhood began in 1888 with the opening of the first Humber Bay schoolhouse on High Street. Approximately thirty-five children attended the school in its first year. The Humber Bay school was gradually expanded and eventually became the focal point of this community, hosting ratepayers meetings, school concerts, movies and a variety of sports activities.

The Humber Bay Shores development located along Lake Shore Boulevard between the Humber River and Mimico Creek includes many high-rise condominium buildings that enjoy beautiful views of Lake Ontario.

The Stonegate Plaza on  Berry Road is the principal source of shopping for this neighbourhood. This community plaza includes a large supermarket, a pharmacy, a video store, a dry cleaners, variety and discount stores, restaurants, a dental office  and a community health centre.
