The Centre on Barton

You can’t have an oversized parking lot with stores sporadically placed in said parking lot and call it a mall, or even compare it to the original Centre Mall. I understand they took the word “mall” out of the name for this parking lot now, but how about dropping the “Centre” part? It’s disgracing the actual Centre Mall! Who thought an outdoor “mall” would be good in a cold climate like Canada? Furthermore, if you do not drive regardless of the few raised slabs of concrete they call a sidewalk, it is still dangerous for pedestrians to cross, It’s a death trap. How about we take the loss, demolish the scattered structures and from scratch? Hell, have the city pitch in, if it means having a functional mall again, I would gladly pay more taxes to get this built properly (Because let’s face it Jackson Square isn’t even a mall at this point. Also Limeridge and Eastgate lost both of their anchor stores) I will end this rant with pictures of better times

Having a parent with dementia and trying to get her eyes checked for new glasses I totally recommend this place. Dr. Anarela Barrios was amazing and very patience

They have stores we can do our shopping at Walmart, Shoppers Drug Mart, Canadian Tire, Dollarama, Metro Grocery Store, etc. They have a variety of restaurants we can dine or take out. They also have TD Canada Trust, Scotiabank, etc. They do have small stores and business. They do have Wheelchair Accessible Entrances. They do have a Canadian Tire Gas Station, but no car wash. They have a huge free parking lot with Wheelchair Accessible Parking Lots. Ottawa Street, Barton Street, and Kenilworth Ave North, we use the same spots to go in (entrances) and to go out (exits).

The Centre on Barton has been around for more than 60 years. It has had many transformations going from a mall setting to have each store stand on its own. There's a variety of stores and services that will meet the needs of anyone who visits. I have fond memories of National Bakery with the best sugar cookies.

It's a very nice facility with plenty of parking. It's maintained clean. There are many excellent stores in the area within walking distance of each other. Access between clusters of stores is excellent.
