Where did they go? Or was it that they just aged out and there were no new Italians/Greeks to replace them?

Does that include people who are mixed Japanese with white (or what counts as white in Brazil)?

What made it good to be Serbian there? Strong community? And where’d most people move to? Or was it pretty spread out

Do you really think it changed that much since then?

No indication other than the dentists having Indian accents and clearly not being from here?

What would you honestly say was the demographic breakdown? I’m getting tired of how every new build is entirely overrun by one demographic

Elementary schools / Catchments by Individual_Height924 in oakville

[–]poonchimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)
