Kate Jannetta-Nippard

Kate Janetta-Nippard is the co-owner of Hillcrest Home Hardware on Vaughan Road, just south of St. Clair. The Janetta family have had a hardware store in the neighbourhood for over 45 years. Kate’s great-grandfather immigrated from Italy in 1925 and opened up Janetta's Fruit Shop on Bathurst and Alcina, now known as Green Farms. She talks about the importance of community, and her memories of growing up in the area and joining the family business.
