  Jane and Finch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jane and Finch is a neighbourhood in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, centred around the intersection of two arterial roads, Jane Street and Finch Avenue West.
Jane and Finch developed as a "model suburb" in the 1960s, in response to the rapid urban growth that the city was experiencing during this period.
Soon after Jane and Finch was constructed, and the city's "poor," who were mostly recent immigrants, began moving in, the area was already being portrayed as a hub for crime, drug dealing, gang activity, and other social ills.
