Where lifestyle, business, and culture connect—locally.

Nineside is a modern media company built for the Greater Toronto Area. We sit at the intersection of storytelling, community, and commerce—connecting people to what’s new, what’s local, and what’s next.

Our platform is made up of two powerhouse networks:
Nineside, our flagship brand that covers trending stories, local interviews, and cultural insights across the GTA, and 365, a hyper-local content network in cities like Burlington, Oakville, Mississauga, and Niagara. Together, they form the digital backbone of our mission: to celebrate local life and connect the region through sharp editorial, real-time tools, and powerful community ties.

What We Do

At Nineside, we’re building a local-first platform designed to make the GTA more discoverable, connected, and engaging:

  • City guides filled with hidden gems, indie shops, must-visit restaurants, and weekend adventures.

  • Page Nine, our in-house blog, packed with personality-driven stories about local places, people, and experiences.

  • Nineside News, your go-to source for events, headlines, civic updates, and cultural trends in the region.

  • Searchable business network, giving visibility to makers, shops, and service providers in your community.

  • Neighbors, our free real-time group chat that connects GTA locals by interest and location.

  • Nineside Marketing, a full-service digital partner helping local businesses grow through content, SEO, web design, and influencer promotion.

Why We Built It

Because we saw the gap.
Generic search results and noisy social feeds weren’t doing local justice. Small businesses were getting buried, and people were missing out on the best of their own backyard.

So we created Nineside to:

  • Champion independent businesses.

  • Make discovering the region feel effortless (and fun).

  • Create space for real connection—not just clicks.

We believe every GTA city deserves a spotlight, and every local deserves tools to explore their area like a true insider.

What's Next

We’re just getting started.

We’re continuing to grow our platform across more GTA communities, while building tools for real-time connection and local discovery—including a mobile app powered by AI, community-driven “best-of” lists, interactive maps, and exclusive meetups for members of our Neighbors community.

Whether you're a small business owner, a passionate local, or someone who simply wants to explore deeper—we built Nineside for you.

Join us. Explore more. Connect deeper. Live local.
