Glencairn is a station on the Yonge-University Spadina line of the subway system in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located on William R. Allen Road at 785 Glencairn Avenue. It opened in 1978.
The station formerly featured a stained glass skylight entitled Joy designed by Rita Letendre, which was removed (at the artist's request) after it became faded.
The station is in a lower-density residential area, and hence it is one of the least-used stations.
Interestingly, a station at Glencairn & Yonge was considered for the North Yonge extension in the late 1960s and early 1970s. However, this was dropped (along with Glen Echo Station at Yonge Boulevard) due to budgetary concerns. If built, it would have been placed between Eglinton and Lawrence stations on the Yonge line.
