| • | Little Italy in Vancouver, Canada was an area in the eastern part of the city which was historically an enclave of ethnic Italians. The businesses and cultural facilities of Little Italy were located along Commercial Drive, which is still a social center in eastern Vancouver. Ethnic Italians were very influential in this area from the 1930s until the 1970s.
After World War I, Italian immigrants settled in the impoverished Commercial Drive area, and were widely credited with revitalizing the neighborhood. However, by 1975 a combination of cultural assimilation, foreign immigration, Italian flight to the suburbs, and a schism within the Italian community led to a decline of influence and concentration of ethnic Italians in Vancouver.
As of 2005, there are several Italian businesses, cultural groups, and ethnic Italians living in the Greater Vancouver area, but no one area is predominant. As of this time, no area in Greater Vancouver could accurately be called "Little Italy".
