Region

York Region

York Region sits directly north of Toronto and is made up of nine cities and towns, including Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham, Aurora and Newmarket. The 2021 Census counted 1,173,334 people, up 5.7% from 2016.

15,360 residents have Korean as their mother tongue, second only to Toronto. My office in Thornhill (on the Vaughan-Markham border) is in this region. Subway Line 1 reaches Vaughan Metropolitan Centre, and the GO Barrie, Richmond Hill and Stouffville lines run north-south through the region.
