V.C.L. Community Cultural Day is a community festival hosted by Vietnamese Cambodian Laotian Community Services Association. Participants are most Chinese seniors who became refugees due to the wars or persecution happened in that region in 1970s and eventually settled in Canada in 1970s and 1980s.

Many of the refugees were Chinese. Not only because they were considered outsiders by Khmer Rouge and Communist Vietnam, but also because Chinese were mostly businessmen while communists hate capitalists and love to confiscate their assets.

多伦多唐人街最为世人称道的就是遍布的美食餐厅,令人看得眼花缭乱。最早多经营粤菜,也有几家越南河粉店,后来开了两家川菜馆,近几年更是有中国各地与东亚美食纷纷落地唐人街,包括:粤菜点心、川菜、云南菜、兰州拉面、各地火锅、重庆小面、武汉鸭脖、新加坡海南鸡饭、味千拉面、韩国料理、日本点心、台湾珍珠奶茶和快餐等,水准虽然不如原产地,但在欧美算是难得道地了。
唐人街很多餐厅营业到凌晨时分,不少多伦多市民夜生活后专程驾车到唐人街用餐。由于当地最低工资标准不断提高,餐厅的价格也是水涨船高,不停在上涨,但依然比英国、澳大利亚、欧洲便宜多了。现在越来越多餐厅开始接受支付宝和微信支付,不时还有特别优惠和大红包,大家可以留意手机上的提示信息与店内宣传海报,近期常见的优惠每单能省30元人民币。

饺子楼是Tripadvisor上评价最高的多伦多中餐馆。原本是很便宜的食店,但经历不断的价格上调后,以后吃盘饺子或来碗面条恐怕都要10加元以上了。水饺比不上中国国内的好(因为加拿大当地高筋面粉导致饺子皮较厚),但煎饺很有特色(只是油比较多)。
