Title
Italian Immigrant Workers in Powell River, B.C.: A Case Study of Settlement Before World War II
Abstract
Documents the Italian enclave in the pulp-and-paper town of Powell River, BC, prior to World War II. Analyzes primary sources to show that by the mid-1920s the Italian-origin group formed the largest among non-Anglophones in the community. However, the emergent "Little Italy" was impacted adversely by layoffs from the papermill during the 1930s. The study was intended as a first step toward a comprehensive history of Italian migration and immigration to BC before WWII.
