Chinatown, Calgary
Calgary's Chinatown is the third largest in Canada after those in Vancouver and Toronto. The size of Calgary's Chinatown is indicative of the relatively high proportion of people of Asian descent living in the city. The district is located along Centre Street in the northeast area of downtown Calgary immediately north of the East Village. Calgary's Chinese Cultural Centre with its traditional architecture and decor is the largest facility of its kind in North America.
The area along Centre Street north of downtown and continuing for several kilometres is also very Asian-influenced and is often thought of as the city's second Chinatown.
