History
Opening 2017

Pioneer Village is a subway station under construction on the Yonge–University–Spadina line in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada, on its western branch, the Spadina line. It was originally planned to be a temporary terminus, with the line later extended further to Vaughan Metropolitan Centre; however, the entire extension is now set to open simultaneously. The station will be located on Steeles Avenue West at Northwest Gate.

The station was originally expected to be named Steeles West, but was renamed to Black Creek Pioneer Village on September 28, 2012 for Black Creek Pioneer Village. On July 24, 2013, the unbuilt station was renamed once more, shortening it to Pioneer Village.

The major buildings of York University's main Keele Campus lie to the southeast of the proposed location. Black Creek Pioneer Village, Canlan Ice Sports and Aviva Centre are found to the southwest, and the Toronto Track and Field Centre to the east.

The station will be built underground, lying on a northwest-southeast axis. The line will approach from York University station northwestward, directly under the university's main buildings, to meet the station. Construction may require the removal of the parking lot at Northwest Gate and use of vacant land next to the United Parcel Service centre in Vaughan.
