5 M& _8 n- p2 M$ k z. d 昨天在朋友家聚会,在聊天过程中有个朋友几次都提到新糖人街这个名词,我当时就蒙啊一时反应不过来不知道到底指什么地方,在脑海里唐人街不就是市中心97街的唐人街吗?怎么又出现新糖人街呢?后来朋友解释说,爱德蒙顿新的唐人街就指现在的MareWan,Terwillegar这一带的西南区,她还说现在圈内许多人都把西南区称谓为新“糖人街”这人所共知。( s. v& B* {: T5 R0 x- K
现在西南区几乎80%都是中国人居住,其它多数都是印度人等亚洲人居住,西人极少,所以大家称西南区为新糖人街。
Southwest area ~= ward 9 (http://www.edmonton.ca/city_gove ... 2013_Master_Map.pdf). , `3 ?, |+ L3 S+ a; NBased on City of Edmonton data (http://www.edmonton.ca/city_gove ... s_Ward%209_2014.pdf), about 10% people speak Chinese (Cantonese + mandarin) in ward 9. Considering about 25% no response + other, I guess there are about 15% Chinese in southwest area. For several specific Neighbourhoods in southwest, the percentages of Chinese (or Asians) should be higher than 15% - 20%-25% is possible. & X# T; Q) t1 V
