The Chinese in Toronto from 1878
The Chinese have become a vibrant part of Toronto’s multiculturalism, with no less than seven Chinatowns created since 1984. Short-listed for the 2013 Speaker’s Book Award and for the 2012 Heritage Toronto Award The modest beginnings of the Chinese in Toronto and the development of Chinatown is largely due 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 fifty. Today, no less than seven Chinatowns serve what has become the second-largest visible minority in the city, with a population of half a million. In these pages, you will find their stories told through historical accounts, archival and present-day photographs, newspaper clippings, and narratives from old-timers and newcomers. With achievements spanning all walks of life, the Chinese in Toronto are no longer looking in from outside society’s circle. Their lives are a vibrant part of the diverse mosaic that makes Toronto one of the most multicultural cities in the world.
Heart and Soul
This book is about courage. It is about strength, extraordinary skill, artistry, talent, and dedication. The book starts with Elvis with his quest for excellence whether it be karate, motor cross racing, or figure skating. In Elvis' own words, we follow his career as he tells us how he prepares, what goes through his mind during a performance, the tension and fear of Putting it all on the line, and what it is like to try a new jump or move in competition. He tells us how his music is selected, the dance choreographed, and the need to get more and more into each routine. Illustrated with over 200 color pictures, this beautiful book is a must for all fans of Elvis -- and those who just love the sport of figure skating.
