Italians in Montreal
Montreal has an Italian Canadian community. As of 2007, 17.6% of the ethnic Italians in Canada live in Montreal.〔Harney, p. (179 ).〕
Montreal's Italian community is one of the largest in Canada, second only to Toronto. With 250,000 residents of Italian ancestry, Montreal has many Italian districts, such as Little Italy, Saint-Leonard (Città Italiana), R.D.P., and LaSalle. Italian is the 3rd most spoken language in Montreal and in the province of Quebec. There is such a large number of Italian Canadians in Montreal that when Italy won the 2006 FIFA World Cup, the number of Italian Montrealers taking to the streets to celebrate en masse resulted in the closure of many major streets, such as Saint Lawrence Boulevard.
==History==
In 1893 there were about 1,400 ethnic Italians in Montreal.〔Linteau, Paul-André, René Durocher, and Jean-Claude Robert (translator into English: Robert Chodos). ''Quebec: A History 1867-1929'' (Volume 1 of Quebec, a History, Paul André Linteau). James Lorimer Company, 1983. ISBN 0888626045, 9780888626042. p. (47 ).〕 According to a 1906 edition of ''The Labour Gazette'', Canada Department of Labour, Italian employment agencies that worked with Canadian steamship and railway companies attracted many Italian labourers to Montreal.〔''The Labour Gazette, Volume 6''. Canada Department of Labour, 1906. p. (1348 ).〕 Additional growth in the Italian population took place in the 20th century.〔
The Order of the Sons of Italy in Montreal dedicated a statue of John Cabot (Giovanni Caboto) in 1935. The order suggested that Cabot, and not Jacques Cartier, was in fact the first European to reach Canada.〔Harney, p. (192 ).〕
