Marpole Monogatari – Community

In contrast to the larger and more concentrated communities in pre-War Powell Street or Steveston, Japanese Canadians in Marpole tended to intermingle more with non-Japanese. Former residents, descendants and associates talk about the positive and negative aspects of interactions with neighbours at school, shopping, and sports.
