Metro Vancouver: Ethnic Origins

Shopping Outlets Dept: What will the diverse face of Metro Vancouver look like in a couple of decades? If recent highimmigration settlement patterns continue, the fast-growing region of 2.2 million will further evolve into a collection of enclaves, according to Vancouver Sun. But, in the midst of this apparent inter-ethnic urban calm, The Sun's ethnic mapping series has revealed Metro Vancouver residents are increasingly choosing to seek comfort by living near people of the same colour or ancestry, whether Chinese, South Asian, Filipino or Caucasian and the 's unique ethnic mapping series has revealed a distinct trend - that Metro Vancouver's neighbourhoods are becoming increasingly defined by ethnicity. The vast majority of Metro Vancouver residents, of all ethnic origins, tend to be friendly, or, at minimum, tolerant, toward people of different backgrounds, whom they meet every day in offices, schools, on transit and in shopping outlets.
