Intro
Image credits: Bruno Fatori, tortoon Welcome to On the Danforth’s first-ever digital issue “Dear Danforth.” This issue is all about connection. Mimicking the style of an advice column, each article employs a conversational and intimate style of writing that doesn’t shy away from heavier topics, but rather, approaches them with genuine and thoughtful discussion. This issue consists of three sections. There is Art Corner, which strives to embody the creative spirit of the Danforth, celebrating the artists, creatives, and cultural spaces that give the neighbourhood its character; Connections Between the Lines, which focuses on the cultural heritage and diverse population of the Danforth, with particular attention to the parts of…

Land Acknowledgement
Ever in acknowledgement and appreciation, On the Danforth Magazine accepts our duty to remain actively aware, pensive, and respectful of the land upon which we reside. Centennial College and the Danforth area are located in Tkaronto—or Toronto—on the lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. We recognize that it is because of their immemorial and continuing perseverance, caretaking, and love for this land that we, as settlers, have the privilege of documenting this community’s growth. We also acknowledge the buried history of colonization, treaty infringements, and exploitation that is ongoing on these Indigenous grounds, for which resolution is long overdue. A future of truth and reconciliation requires a…
