THE PLAYERS THEMSELVES CAMEThe Canadian Route
A strip on Eglinton West
Canada changed its immigration rules in the 1960s, and Jamaicans arrived in numbers, most of them into Toronto. They settled along Eglinton Avenue West, and the barbershops, patty shops, record stores and studios that opened there made a stretch of road that is now called Little Jamaica. This walk starts on it, because everything else on this route passed through it.
