“The Fraserhood is the collection of East Vancouver blocks within the larger Kensington-Cedar Cottage neighbourhood. It’s bordered by East Broadway, 31st, Prince Albert, and St. George with its nexus sitting at the busy intersection of Fraser and Kingsway. For decades it’s been home to a working class community, and despite the especially Anglocentric nomenclature of its streets, its residents are chiefly a mix of Chinese, Filipino, Vietnamese, Indian, and Polish. Only a third are native English speakers. The retail shops, restaurants, markets, and community hubs of its high streets are strikingly diverse, and what these lack in frills they more than make up for in character and authenticity. From Robson Park all the way south to Mountain View Cemetery, hours spent wandering the Fraserhood are always well spent.” – Scout Magazine
