Eglinton East

Eglinton East, historically known as Knob Hill, is a residential and commercial neighbourhood in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

It is bounded by Stansbury Crescent, Citadel Drive, and West Highland Creek to the north, Midland Avenue to the west, the CNR rail line, Brimley Road, and Eglinton Avenue to the south, and Bellamy Road North to the east.

Eglinton East is a working-class neighbourhood with a high percentage of immigration to the area.

Sri Lanka has produced the most immigration to the area over the past decade, and correspondingly the most spoken (non-English) language is Tamil.

Prior to the arrival, Macedonians and Bulgarians dominated the neighborhood, emigrating from Eastern Bloc countries after World War II.

CSCM operates one secondary school in the neighbourhood, École secondaire catholique Père-Philippe-Lamarche.

The building was designed by Raymond Moriyama, while the school was named after John McCrae, the composer of the poem In Flanders Fields.

The school was closed in 1986, with the building re-purposed for the Scarborough Centre for Alternative Studies.
