Global News Special Series

Join News Hour anchor Leslie Roberts for a weekly visit to many of the unique and unknown districts, vibrant neighbourhoods and growing towns that circle the GTA. Hot Neighbourhoods, Cool Communities, is a new weekly feature airing Tuesdays on the News Hour at 6 pm.

Here's a list of the communities we'll be visiting:

“I am excited about the prospect of exploring the neighbourhoods and towns all around us as we have many hidden gems here,” Roberts said. “Toronto is home to some of the most diverse and vital communities in the country, and many of them we don’t know much about. Our series is designed to investigate just what makes them special and in order to do that we will we’ll look at the factors that are shaping these communities including issues like development and preservation, effects of the economic downswing, local controversies, and ultimately uncovering the singular spirit and energy that distinguishes each location.”

The Hot Neighbourhoods, Cool Communities itinerary will find Leslie Roberts throughout the GTA exploring a number of Toronto’s districts, some tucked-away, others in transition, but all very lively. He’ll explore some of the fast-growing, often historical communities fanning out beyond the GTA in all directions.
