Canada became an important destination for the Danes during the post-war period. At one point, a Canadian immigration office was to be set up in Copenhagen.[4] While most of the post-war immigrants settled in large cities, Danish-Canadian communities can be found in all of Canada's ten provinces. The oldest Danish community in Canada is New Denmark, New Brunswick, first inhabited by Danish immigrants in 1872.

Notable Danish Canadians
gollark: Well, I wanted to write a thing, and my choices are/were essentially:- Rust - kind of annoying (yes, yes, I know) since I don't care that much about performance and don't mind just waiting for the garbage collector to garbage collect- JavaScript - fast/easy for me to write, but horribly resource-inefficient and it'll probably break in a few months from dependencies- Python - I don't really like it for larger-scale things, and dependency management is still fairly bees- something else, and I'd heard OCaml was neat
gollark: Yes, I'm assuming it probably isn't, but I don't know what *is* going on.
