 he St. Jean de Baptiste Parade\; Montreal\, QC\nOne important long-term re
 sult of the wartime removal of Japanese  Canadians was the establishment o
 f a unique Japanese community in  Quebec. Beginning in 1942\, Japanese Can
 adians forced from the West Coast  began to leave the West Coast or the ca
 mps and move East. The migrants\,  especially Nisei\, found a warm welcome
  in Montreal\, where they  interacted closely with both English and French
  Canadians. The community  organized to build lasting institutions\, inclu
 ding churches\, stores\,  and a newspaper. While some Japanese Canadians l
 ater returned West\, many  preferred to remain in Montreal\, where they we
 re able to become  absorbed into the wider society. Like the larger city\,
  Montreal&rsquo\;s  Japanese population remains notable for religious\, ge
 nerational\, and  linguistic diversity.\nGreg Robinson is Associate Profes
 sor of History at l Universite du Quebec A Montreal and the author of <em>
