Oakridge (Toronto)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oakridge is a neighbourhood in the city of Toronto, in the Scarborough area. The neighbourhood is bordered by Victoria Park Ave to the West, Massey Creek to the North, Warden Ave to the East travelling south until Mack Ave which then extends East again to the CNR rail line which forms the Southern Border.
The section of the Danforth running through Oakridge provides its residence with shopping, dining and other entertainment. The Oakridge Community Centre is also where many of the youth in the neighbourhood find their entertainment.
This is a working class neighbourhood, which is very diverse ethnically, religiously and even the types of homes you will see. An indication of this diversity can be seen by the fact that over forty percent of residents are Black or South Asian and over 20% of residents are of the Muslim faith. Languages such as Bengali, Urdu and Tamil are spoken in this area which further cements Oakridge as another in a collection of very diverse neighbourhoods in Toronto.
