Eglinton West
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eglinton West, also known as Little Jamaica, is a retail section of Toronto, Canada situated along Eglinton Avenue West from Caledonia Road to Keele Street. It is located in the former borough of York.
There are a large number of Jamaican businesses along this strip. There are also businesses of other communities from the Caribbean. Surrounding communities such as Oakwood - Vaughan are culturally diverse and contain a large Jamaican population.
The businesses along Eglinton Avenue West are frequented by many in the Greater Toronto Area's 200,000-plus Jamaican community.
This area is part of the York-Eglinton Business Improvement Area which stretches from Marlee Avenue in the east, to Chamberlain Avenue in the West (just west of Dufferin Street).
