Eglinton West, also known as Little Jamaica,[1] is a neighbourhood and retail district of Toronto, Ontario, Canada situated along Eglinton Avenue West from Allen Road to Keele Street, in the former borough of York. There are a large number of Jamaican businesses along this strip. There are also businesses of other communities from the Caribbean. The businesses along Eglinton Avenue West are frequented by many in the Greater Toronto Area's 150,000-plus Jamaican community. The area overlaps the York-Eglinton Business Improvement Area which stretches from Marlee Avenue in the east, to Chamberlain Avenue in the West (just west of Dufferin Street).

  • I find every comment bellow very disrespectful, How would you call it Ghetto it represents where we come from and I 'm sure you would not appreciate people saying something negative about where you come from. Not everyone there is living off of government assistance or doesn't have a job. Just like any other area there is a few people living on assistance. You need to reevaluate your life before commenting on the life of others. Thank you.
