Woburn

Scarborough, Toronto, ON

Woburn is central Scarborough's workaday residential neighbourhood — a large, predominantly working-class community spread across the McCowan and Ellesmere corridors. One of Scarborough's most ethnically diverse areas with significant South Asian, Caribbean, and Filipino communities. The Scarborough Subway Extension will be transformative for this car-dependent neighbourhood, with planned stations improving connectivity significantly.
