| Description |
This downtown Toronto riding contains some of the city's most famous landmarks, including the CN Tower, the Rogers Centre, the bank towers, Ontario Place and the Royal Ontario Museum.
The riding stretches from Lake Ontario to the CP Rail line north of Dupont Street. The eastern boundaries are Avenue Road and Queen's Park Crescent, east along College Street to Yonge Street and down Yonge to Lake Ontario. Western boundaries zigzag: Ossington Avenue down to Dundas Street West, across Dundas to Dovercourt Road, then down to the CN Rail line, across to Dufferin Street, down Dufferin, then west around the Canadian National Exhibition grounds to the lake.
Chinatown, Little Italy, Portugal Village, Kensington market, the Annex, the University of Toronto and the Toronto Islands are also in the riding. The riding contains the financial district, many commercial establishments, small businesses and the city's garment district.
According to the 2006 census the immigrant population is 41 per cent, with a diverse mix of backgrounds. There are large Chinese and Portuguese communities. Over 41 per cent listed a language other than English or French as their mother tongue.
Forty-six per cent of residents own their homes. Fifty-three per cent of residents over age 25 have a university certificate or degree. The average family income is $102,655 and unemployment is 6.4 per cent.
This riding was created in the 1986 redistribution from 88 per cent of Spadina and 40 per cent of Trinity ridings. In 1996, a piece of Davenport was added. In 2004, the southwest border was moved west to Dufferin Street and in the southeast, the boundary moved to Yonge Street from University Avenue.
