Scarborough can be found just east of Toronto, north of Lake Ontario and south of Steeles Ave. to the north, directly west of the Rouge River and ending at Victoria Park Avenue. Scarborough has one of the most richly diverse populations in all of the Greater Toronto Area – over 50% half of Scarborough’s residents are from another country. Only Markham, Ontario and Richmond, British Columbia have higher numbers of residents that were born outside of Canada.

The infamous and picturesque Scarborough Bluffs rise over Lake Ontario, and are one of the most popular destinations for locals and visitors alike that are looking to enjoy an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Scarborough is very accessible, with various transportation options like subways, trains, buses, taxi services and convenient access to many major provincial highways and close proximity to Lester Pearson International across the 401. Scarborough is also well known for being home to the Scarborough Rapid Transit, which is the only elevated rapid transit line in all of Ontario.

• Agincourt Collegiate Institute
