Santee Siouxx's Top Toronto Picks

Favourite Toronto neighbourhood: Kensington Market, because it's home to the Pow Wow café. They serve my favourite Indian Tacos! Yum! 

Secret Toronto spot: Iconic Toronto skyline views at Jennifer Kateryna Koval’s’kyj Park. Also known as the Polson Pier skyline view, the park is located at the very end of Polson St.

What should someone buy for the ultimate Toronto souvenir? Indigenous jewelry and art. Hundreds of incredibly talented Indigenous artists live and work in Toronto and all over Ontario. Small markets and gift shops will have local art. When looking for any First Nations art, ensure you are shopping for locally made products, not imported goods produced in a factory.
