OVERVIEW
Thistletown is nestled amidst the rustic beauty of the Humber River Valley lands.
This picturesque neighbourhood is home to a wide mix of people from many different
cultural backgrounds. Thistletown's unique charm has led many second and third
generation Thistletowners to raise their families here.
Thistletown has
many outstanding neighbourhood landmarks including the "Anga's Farm" at 89 Benfield
Drive. This privately owned farm is popular with Thistletown residents who regularly
stop here in the summertime to purchase fruit and vegetables. Anga's farm also
makes and sells its own honey.
Another Thistletown
landmark is the "Village Green" which is situated behind the Thistletown Multi
Service Centre on Albion Road. The Village Green was deeded to the residents of
Thistletown in the 1890's by Jonathan Farr. The Village Green is the site of the
very popular Thistletown Fair which is held the first Saturday in June and includes
a flea market, local entertainment, a baking contest, a children's carnival, and
a barbecue hosted by the Thistletown Lions Club.
