With downtown sitting to the west and Mount Pleasant to the south, Strathcona straddles the line between frenzied city hub and chill, residential neighbourhood. It’s calm for the most part, but with unexpectedly great shops and restaurants within its borders, including well-curated clothing boutiques, an authentic Japanese grocery and a handful of “Yeast Van” breweries. On weekends, this special enclave in the centre of it all is bursting with life (and bicycles and happy dogs and dinner lineups).

Hello, Mega Hospital. It’s going to take several years, but St. Paul’s Hospital is getting set to pack up and head to a sprawling new integrated health campus—roughly 15 football fields in size, and three times the space they currently occupy. The move will mark a sea change for Strathcona as the new facility attracts denser housing and thousands of workers and patients, bringing everything from job opportunities to traffic snarls. The goal is to open the $1.2-billion-facility—which will offer emergency services, mental health and addictions treatment, youth services, specialized HIV care and more—in 2023.
