Jane-Finch.com is a hyperlocal website that serves as a portal to the Jane and Finch community located at the northwest end of the city of Toronto, Canada.

History
Jane-Finch.com began as a rap and hip hop site and later evolved to promoting social issues in the area. The website produces videos and articles with residents to give an unprecedented look inside the community and has been a vital resource for residents of the area.
