From the spring of 2016 until the fall of 2017 we documented the activities, lifestyles, dreams and aspirations of this multi-cultural, diverse community. We’d like to thank the Gerrard India Bazaar Business Improvement Area (GIBBIA) for their support. On Canada Day we deployed a short form digital documentary series entitled “Meet The Villagers” that explores the South Asian entrepreneurs of the Bazaar as well as a few of the new wave of non South Asian business owners. It’s a community that is in constant flux but still retains a rich and colourful South Asian flavour.
