Sonam Chokey and Tibet

: The community has been growing since the first refugees settled here in the 1970s and their restaurants and shops have long been popular, according to Toronto Star. Little Tibet biggest draw is momos , a fact that Students for a Free Tibet Canada plans to harness for its July 26 momo crawl. The west-end neighbourhood highrises are home to many of the 5,000-plus Tibetan Canadians who call Greater Toronto home. Buy a $20 passport, sample 10 momos at eight Parkdale restaurants and vote for your favourite. China invaded Tibet in 1949 and soon annexed the region. Food, we think, is a really smooth way to transition people into the political aspects of the movement right now, says Sonam Chokey, 23, a member of the non-profit, grassroots organization and a community youth outreach intern at the Tibetan Canadian Cultural Centre.
