Beautifully gritty.
The vibe: vibrant, industrial, diverse, tenacious, strong
The place for: murals, restaurants, community gardens, thrift stores, maker spaces

Resilient and proud like the people and businesses who call this neighbourhood home, Strathcona is like no other part of the city. Its repurposed industrial buildings and proximity to downtown make this neighbourhood a mecca for artists, designers, musicians, and creative entrepreneurs. Strathcona is much more than a location. It’s a place with diverse people—different cultures, experiences and backgrounds—sharing one community.
