    Abstract
    This article uses a case study of a street in Toronto populated predominantly by Chinese to explore why and how ethnic enclaves form. Interviews and detailed observations reveal that residents chose to move to the area on their own volition to enjoy the suburban life and to remain close to ethnic services. Barring a few specific needs of residents of the area (such as additional income from secondary suites, English-as-a-Second Language classes for adults and services for seniors), the study finds that newly emerging suburban ethnic enclaves are more or less similar in physical and communal makeup to other suburban Toronto neighbourhoods.
     
    Le présent article se fonde sur l'étude du cas d'une rue de Toronto, peuplée principalement de Chinois, pour explorer le pourquoi et le comment de la formation d'enclaves ethniques. Entrevues et observations détaillées révèlent que les gens qui habitent cette rue ont choisi de plein gré de s'y installer pour profiter de la vie en banlieue et rester à proximité des services à caraetère ethnique. Hormis quelques besoins précis des résidents de l'endroit (par exemple un revenu supplémentaire provenant de logements secondaires, des cours d'anglais langue seconde pour les adultes et des services pour l'âge d'or), l'étude conclut que les enclaves ethniques en émergence en banlieue sont essentiellement comparables, par leur composition physique et communautaire, aux autres quartiers banlieues de Toronto.
