Croatian Canadians in business

About 130,000 Canadians report Croatian origin in recent censuses, and community estimates reach 200,000.

The Toronto CMA has about 37,500, with Toronto, Hamilton and Mississauga each holding around 10,000 or more. Vancouver (about 15,700), Calgary, Edmonton, Windsor, Winnipeg and Montreal also have established parishes and clubs.

Croatian Canadians are well represented in construction, engineering, technology and real estate, and the community is tied together by parishes and Croatia soccer clubs from Toronto to Vancouver.

Community life centres on Croatian Catholic parishes, Croatian National Homes, tamburica groups and Croatia soccer clubs. BABO doesn't replace any of it. It gives the business owners in those communities one place to find each other, trade referrals and meet.
