[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Indo-Canadians are Canadians whose origins trace back to the Indian sub-continent, often referred to in this way because the term Indian has been used more often to reference the Aboriginals of Canada.
Most Canadians of Indian origin prefer, and many times will refer to themselves as, Indians, rather than "East Indians." This is partially because historically America was mistaken by Columbus as India and native Americans were mistaken by Columbus for Indians and later as West Indians. It is also seen to be a reflection of India's size and stature, as well as its cultural, economic and political position in the world: Indians do not feel that Columbus' ignorance justifies referring to them 'qualified' as "East Indians" more than 500 years later.
The main concentration of the Indo-Canadian population is centered in the Greater Toronto Area and the Greater Vancouver Area.

The architure is intriguing with all the complimentary shapes. Too bad you could not capture more of the bottom part of the building. TFS. K2

Indeed the term Indian is very confusing.

Hi Lea,

Very strong architecture here bathing in a warm golden light.
Maybe you can post a picture of the whole building in the WS, because this one really makes me curious as how that whole buildings looks.
