Barbadian Canadian or Bajan Canadian, refers to Canadian citizens of Barbadian descent or Barbados-born people who resides in Canada. According to the 2016 Census 37,780 Canadians claimed full or partial Barbadian ancestry.[1] Barbadian Canadians have the highest median income and the lowest incidence of poverty among Black Canadian groups.[2] Barbadians first start migrating to Nova Scotia in the early 1900s settling largely in the neighbourhood of Whitney Pier in Sydney.[3] In Cape Breton, they established chapters of the United Negro Improvement Association and the African Orthodox Church.[3] As of 2016, over 70% of the Bajan population in Canada resides in Ontario.
