No matter which way you love to shop, Toronto has something in store. Unique Canadian brands and independent Toronto shops mean you’ll find something for everyone on your list (and maybe even a little something for you)!

Take a left off the beaten track and explore Vaughan Mills, a must for unique stores like Holt Renfrew Last Call and Bass Pro Shops’ Outdoor World. The centre is a fantastic (and huge!) combination of manufacturer’s outlets, brand-name retailers, theme restaurants and live entertainment. And, it doesn’t stop there - Lucky Strike Lanes and NASCAR Speed Park make this mall truly unique in Canada.

While you’re in the area, be sure to visit The McMichael Art Gallery in Kleinburg. The essence of Canadian artwork is just minutes from the city with special exhibitions, intimate concerts and other unique events. The McMichael displays an unparalleled collection of works by the Group of Seven, as well as Inuit and First Nations art in a beautiful natural setting.
