Toronto, Ontario

Toronto businesses, researched and selected

Before a business appears on Toronto Select, we look into what it does, what its customers report and whether its details hold up. The result is a short list for each need, whether that’s a wet basement in Leslieville, a litigation lawyer near the PATH or a dog groomer in the Junction.

Local context matters too

A city measured in commute times

In Toronto, distance is counted in minutes on the 401, the Gardiner or Line 1, not in kilometres. Someone in Mimico and someone in the Beaches live in the same city but rarely call the same plumber. Every listing shows its neighbourhood, and we include the 905 when it makes sense.

Before choosing

Our research, in short

We study the businesses in each category across Toronto, set aside generalists that only take the odd job of that kind, compare ratings with the number of reviews that support them and verify address, phone and hours. Whoever is left standing makes the list.
