About the Neighbourhood

Richmond Hill is one of the most multicultural communities in the Greater Toronto Area. The City is favoured by a large number of people of British background, as well as Italian, Jewish, and Eastern European families. The eastern section of Richmond Hill is home to one of the largest and most affluent Chinese communities in the GTA. Richmond Hill is one of Canada’s fastest growing municipalities, largely due to its close proximity to Toronto and the fact that it is home to major employers including Compaq Canada, Levi Strauss, Lexmark, Suzuki, Epson, and many more.

For those who enjoy the Arts, the Richmond Hill Curtain Club is an excellent local community theatre group, performing in an intimate theatre on Newkirk Road. The Richmond Hill Group of Artists is based at the Mill Pond Art Gallery. Adult and children’s art classes are offered there. Arts Richmond Hill is a non-profit organization supporting Arts and Culture in Richmond Hill. The Festival of Lights, Music Festival and Heritage Village Day are some of the annual events sponsored by this organization.

Richmond Hill has over 100 parks and natural areas, five golf courses, and 18 recreational facilities. It is well known for its outstanding figure skating and hockey programs, many of which take place at the Elvis Stojko Arena, which was named after the Olympic champion skater Elvis Stojko, who grew up in Richmond Hill. The Lois Hancey Aquatic Centre, located next to the Central Library, includes a wave pool, 160 foot water slide, swirl pool, and on-deck sauna.
