Leslieville

Leslieville, just east of the Don River, began as an area known mainly for being the location for much of the city’s light industry. Naturally, it also became the residence for the many factory workers and their families. However, with the movement of industry to the cheaper rent and leases in the outskirts of town, the past 10 to 15 years has seen the neighbourhood rebuild itself as a place for families and their small businesses. Perennially referred to as an “up and coming neighbourhood” Leslieville continues to grow with locally-owned independent businesses and a strong sense of community.

It doesn’t seem to do justice to Wonderpens to describe it as a stationery store; it is that but it is also so much more. From pens and pencils and ink to paper, notebooks, sealing wax and office supplies you’ll find it all here. The airy shop is particularly dedicated to the fountain pen. A wide selection of fountain pens are available – from starter pens for the initiate for under $20 to those for the connoisseur for over $600 and everything (and, I do mean every thing) in between. With so many different types of writing instruments and surfaces available it’s comforting to know that any questions you might have will be thoughtfully answered by owners Jon or Liz Chan. Very much a part of the Leslieville community, the shop also offers various workshops on calligraphy as well as a free Children’s Handwriting & Cursive Writing Class.
