Eruv in Toronto: there is an eruv for Shabbat
Toronto has a large eruv from Highway 407 in the north down to the rail tracks between Davenport and Dupont - the Jewish neighbourhoods along Bathurst included. Downtown is outside it. The eruv is checked weekly - confirm its status before Shabbat.

Our guide
Bathurst Street is the historic heart, but the community has moved north over the years - today there's a real cluster of kosher restaurants in Thornhill too, past the city line. Worth checking where your planned place actually is rather than assuming everything sits on Bathurst itself.
Stay in the kosher area of Toronto
For Shabbat in Toronto, base yourself in or near the Bathurst Street corridor (Thornhill) - Chabad of Midtown Toronto (Chabad house listed on the site) is within walking distance from there, along with the other kosher listings for the city.
If you complete your booking there during this same visit, we earn a small referral commission from the partner - at no extra cost to you.
