I contenuti

The arrival of the Chinese in Toronto and the development of Chinatown owes its modest beginnings to the completion of the CPR in 1885. No longer requiring the services of the Chinese labourers, a hostile British Columbia sent them eastward in search of employment and a more welcoming place. In 1894 Toronto's Chinese population numbered 50. Today no less than seven Chinatowns serve the second-largest visible minority in the city, with a population of half a million. Their stories are told through historical accounts, archival and present-day photographs, newspaper clippings, and narratives and writing from old-timers and newcomers. With achievements spanning all walks of life, the Chinese in Toronto are no longer looking in from outside the circle. Their lives are a vibrant part of the diverse mosaic that makes Toronto one of the most multicultural cities in the world.
