Summary

Description

Toronto is home to about 300,000 people of Chinese ethnic background. Although Toronto's Chinatown is nowhere as vast and well-developed as the one in Vancouver, it is still very large and significant.

Many Chinese from Hong Kong and elsewhere have come to Canada in recent decades, especially during the panic of the late 1980s and the 1990s over the looming communist takeover of Hong Kong. Although Hong Kong hasn't changed much since the takeover, affluent Hong Kongers still come to Canada in large numbers, lured by Canada's investor-friendly immigration policy.

A Chinatown needs a welcome gate, and this one is seen at a streetside trolley stop on Spadina Avenue. And Toronto Transit Commission does operate a very extensive streetcar network.
