I have heard of people talk about particular cities who claim to have the most of an ethnic/cultural group's representation abroad, in terms of either demographics or cultural influence by some measure outside its homeland.
Examples include "Chicago is the city with the most Polish people outside Poland" (though I hear this may no longer be true) or "Gimli, Manitoba has the most Icelandic people outside Iceland".
Other times, the claim may not be the largest number of people, but might relate to cultural representation outside the homeland, such as the largest festival of a kind (eg. Kitchener-Waterloo's claim of the largest Oktoberfest celebration outside Germany) or the cities that claim to have the largest/oldest Chinatown outside Asia.
Does Toronto have any claims to fame like this?
