That sounds dope.

Wait until you see Brampton

I think the lower mainland has a much higher proportion of Indians than anywhere in Ontario.

>The Lower Mainland is a geographic and cultural region of the mainland coast of British Columbia that generally comprises the regional districts of Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. Home to approximately 3.05 million people as of the 2021 Canadian census, the Lower Mainland contains sixteen of the province's 30 most populous municipalities and approximately 60% of the province's total population.

Yep. The community is much older too - South Asians had been in the Lower Mainland since the 1880s-90s during the lumber boom.

I thought Vancouver was mostly Chinese

It's a very diverse place - you have people from basically everywhere.

OP said “mostly” not “solely”. I think this is probably accurate.

No, it isn't. There are a lot of people of Chinese ethnicity in Vancouver but it is nowhere near the dominant fraction. But there is a very nice Chinatown (great food).

The ethnic 'whites' are about 50%, ethnic Chinese is now ~25%, it was quite a bit lower when I was still living in Canada so it was definitely on the rise but the increase seems to have leveled off.

Some externally sourced data that more or less confirms this:
