At Nineside, we’re not just highlighting businesses — we’re telling the story of the Greater Toronto Area, one neighborhood, one local gem, and one real connection at a time.

We believe that every corner of the GTA has a story worth telling — from a family-run café in Brampton to a buzzing art space in Hamilton to a trail you didn’t know existed in the backroads of Caledon. We amplify those stories, and we do it loudly, with heart, personality, and purpose.

We Put Businesses on the Map — Literally and Culturally

Big platforms are great. But what about the indie bookstore with handwritten staff picks? The tattoo studio that doubles as a safe space? The Jamaican patty shop that's been holding it down since 1984? That’s where Nineside comes in.

We create a space where small businesses don’t get buried in the algorithm — they shine. Through our digital tools, storytelling, and media, we give them visibility in a way that’s rooted in real community pride.

We Are the Local Voice — Honest, Bold, Connected

From Burlington to Scarborough, Mississauga to Markham, we speak the language of the streets, side streets, main streets, and back roads. Nineside is a platform by locals, for locals, made for people who love where they live — and want to see it grow without losing its soul.

We don’t just post about a place. We show you why it matters. Why it’s worth visiting. Who built it. And what makes it one-of-a-kind.

We Celebrate Everything That Makes the GTA... the GTA

Whether it’s:

• A hidden pho spot that deserves a Michelin star,

• A city market with 50 years of flavor under one roof,

• Or a rooftop patio that turns a Tuesday into a vibe...

Nineside covers it, photographs it, writes about it, and shares it. We make sure that the GTA feels seen, supported, and celebrated — not just as a collection of cities, but as a living, thriving community full of culture, hustle, and history.

And We’re Just Getting Started

Our mission is to keep growing this movement — spotlighting entrepreneurs, creatives, hidden gems, and local legends across the region. From editorial features and on-the-ground content to our Neighbors community and digital tools like Page Nine, we’re building a platform that represents what the GTA is really about.

Because Toronto and the surrounding cities? They’re not just growing — they’re glowing. And we’re here to capture every moment.
