Talk:Boyle Street
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The article mentions a citation needed for social agencies in the Boyle Street area. While I don't have source material yet, a couple of the agencies in the neighborhood are the Salvation Army and the Bissel Centre.
Also, as another item of interest, there is one of these Chinese arch type structures at 102 Avenue and 97 Street that is on the Boyle Street side of the intersection.

I did a little digging in city demographic resources for ethnic origin of people in the Boyle Street area. According to the 2001 federal census, people of Chinese ethnic origin are the largest identifiable group in Boyle Street.
I removed the reference to a large number of Italians living in Boyle street because the 2001 Federal Census indicates ten residents of Italian origin. This is not a significant percentage of the roughly 6,000 people who call Boyle Street home.
The federal census also indicates only 5.4% of the residents are aboriginal, mostly North American Indian. This isn't significantly different from the proportion of Alberta population as a whole. It's crossed my mind that a lot of aboriginals may be homeless and may not be counted in the census, so I've left the statement about aboriginals alone for now. But this statement needs some support.

I don't know when St. Barbara's was constructed, so if someone knows that detail it would be cool. Next time I'm in the Boyle Street area, if I remember my camera, I'll see if I can get a picture or two of some of the other distinctive buildings in the neighborhood.
The City publishes a nice collection of data sheets for various neighborhoods in the city, including Boyle Street. These data sheets contain a wealth of data with most of it drawn from federal and municipal censuses. I've tapped these extensively for some of the changes I've made.

So who is the Mr or Mrs. Boyle that the area is named after anyway? Kevlar67 03:55, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
