It is estimated that Hispanic people migrated to Toronto during the 1960-70's.[1] When the Spanish first came to Toronto, they mainly located themselves in the west part of Toronto. This has changed over the years. The widespread of Hispanic immigrants has placed Spanish in the top ten languages spoken in Toronto today. Now, a mass majority of Hispanic immigrants have established themselves along Bathurst Street, between College and Bloor Street.
