Lambton - Baby Point
Contains the traditional neighbourhoods of:
Lambton, Baby Point
Sitting in this district’s southern half, Baby Point is knitted into modern Toronto history. Conn Smythe (1895–1980), founder of the Toronto Maple Leafs and builder of Maple Leaf Gardens, was once the neighbourhood’s most famous resident. Locals know that the correct pronunciation is “babby”—rather than “baby”—because it was named for a Frenchman, Captain James Baby, who served in the early government of Upper Canada. Many of the houses in Baby Point predate the Second World War, and they have a handsome, Rosedale-like look, but on a slightly more modest scale with much larger lots. Near the Humber River, the expansive and highly walkable Etienne Brulé Park is a district highlight. Unfortunately, the developers who created Lambton, in the northern half of the district, pretty much ignored their main assets: the rambling ravine and the snaking Humber. As far as you can tell from the street plan and the positions of the houses, this might as well be the middle of Saskatchewan since the ravine and river are out of sight. The homes here are mostly medium-size Toronto traditional, with concrete verandas.
