History

In the 1950s, E.P. Taylor, a prominent Canadian entrepreneur, recognized the potential of the picturesque landscape in the creation of a residential development. His company, Don Mills Development Corp, meticulously assembled land in the area, culminating in the announcement of the establishment of Erin Mills, a visionary “New Town.” The development unfolded in four phases: Erin Mills South in the 1970s, Erin Mills West in the mid-1980s, Erin Mills Central in 1989, and Churchill Meadows between 2000 and 2010. Notably, Churchill Meadows, while distinct, has historically been considered part of the broader Erin Mills community.
