Who lives in the Briar Hill-Belgravia community?
As part of the larger Fairbank neighbourhood, Briar Hill-Belgravia was originally created back in 1891 under the name of Fairbank Postal Village. Most of the area’s housing layout remains the same as when it was originally planned back in the interwar period between the 1920’s and 1930’s.
Historically, the area had a large Italian population, with many businesses and establishments in the area continuing to reflect its influence. But over the years, immigrants from Russia, Portugal, Serbia, Hungary, and the Philippines have settled in the area, giving it the multicultural flavor it enjoys today.
More than half of its population arrived in this neighbourhood arrived after 1981. Between 1996 and 2001, a large number of immigrants from the Philippines settled into the neighbourhood, causing Tagalog to become the second most spoken language in the area, second only to English.
What schools are in the area?
Due to its predominantly Roman Catholic population, there are several Catholic schools to choose from in the area. Examples include St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School, D’Arcy McGee Catholic School, and Saints Cosmas and Damian Catholic School. There are also several secular schools such as Fairbank Public School, and Fairbank Memorial Community School.
