Who handles what
The neighbourhood
Graham Stephenson Van Vliet's office is on Eva Road in Etobicoke, east of The West Mall and west of Highway 427. It sits in the same central Etobicoke area as the Etobicoke Civic Centre on The West Mall, in what's known locally as the Eatonville neighbourhood, a part of Toronto's west end built up with office buildings rather than a traditional downtown core. The Highway 427 access suits a firm whose corporate and commercial clients are spread across the Greater Toronto Area rather than concentrated in one neighbourhood.
