Come out to ‘Suburbs vs Downtown: the 416, the 905, and race and ethnicity’
Posted on 19. Sep, 2011 by Jef in Politics, Race, Toronto
As you may have heard, there’s a heated war going on between the GTA’s downtowners and suburbanites. Or maybe there’s not. Who can say? You can – we’d like to invite you to a very, very informal talk session about the 416, the 905, and what race and ethnicity have got to do with it.
Date: Monday, September 26, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Place: Room 106 at the 519 Community Centre, 519 Church St.
RSVP: ethnicaisle@gmail.com
We’ll be talking about transit, transportation, culture, lifestyle, economics, elections, class and how suburban immigrants fit into the Canadian Dream. To help stir the discussion, stayed tuned to the Ashcan and The Ethnic Aisle for related content all week.
Here’s a primer to kick things off.
We think it’s a conversation worth having. Help us spread the word. We hope to see you there.
