| Description | This ethnically diverse Toronto riding has the fifth largest immigrant population in Canada. According to the 2001 census, 59 per cent of residents are immigrants, with 13 per cent Chinese and more than six per cent East Indian. Only 43 per cent listed English as their mother tongue.
It runs from Sunrise Avenue in the south to Finch Avenue, Highway 404 and the hydro transmission lines in the north, and between Leslie Street, the CN Rail line and the Don River in the west and Victoria Park Avenue in the east.
Renters make up 56 per cent of the population, with large clusters of high-rise buildings throughout the riding. The average family income is $64,085, but more than 20 per cent are in the low-income bracket. Unemployment is eight per cent. The service sector and manufacturing are the main industries.
Don Valley East lost five per cent of its territory in the 2004 redistribution, with the southern boundary moving north to Sunrise Ave. The riding was established in 1976, from parts of York-Scarborough and York North. In 1996 it was substantially changed in a merger with Don Valley North.
Population: 111,117 |
