Le pbinomene du degre de la penetration des individus qui ne sont pas d'ascen‐dance anglo‐saxonne dans les cercles d'elite a Toronto fournit une base pour pre‐ciser la notion d'elite. En plus de tenir compte de la position dans la structure du pouvoir et de l'importance fonctionnelle des individus on ajoute le critere de prestige social. On reussit ainsi a distinguer deux differents niveau de statut lies a l'elite. Au niveau inferieur se retrouvent des individus detenant des roles fonc‐tionnels cles dans la societe: c'est le niveau des elites strategiques. Au niveau superieur, que Ton nomme l'elite centrale, on retrouve un groupe restreint de personnes qui, en plus de posseder le pouvoir et l'aisance materielle qui accompa‐gnent le leadership fonctionnel, sont investies d'un prestige social eleve dans la communaute. Par le biais de cette conception dualiste du statut de l'elite, une analyse de la composition ethnique de la structure des elites a Toronto met en lumiere que les Anglo‐Saxons dominent toujours la couche superieure de l'elite. The extent of non‐Anglo‐Saxon penetration into elite circles in Toronto provides a basis for refining the elite concept. In addition to the usual considerations of power and functional importance, the element of prestige has also been included. Two distinct levels of elite status have been delineated. The lower level consists of persons holding key functional roles in the society, designated as the level of strategic elites. The upper level, termed the core elite, consists of a small group of people who combine high social status in the community with the power and wealth that accompany functional leadership. Utilizing this dual concept of elite status, analysis of the ethnic composition of Toronto's elite structure reveals that the upper level is still dominated by Anglo‐Saxons
