\"\"<\/a>The National Association of Japanese Canadians (NAJC) collaborated with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives to produce this publication which is a compilation of opinion pieces from December 2019 and written by John Price. The publication date was to be earlier this year, but plans were delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

The COVID-19 pandemic also slowed down processes for the National Association of Japanese Canadians. The NAJC has used the time to do a considerable amount of work including a deeper dive on the NAJC report, Recommendations for Redressing Historical Wrongs Against Japanese Canadians in BC<\/em>, which was presented to the BC Minister of Tourism, Arts, and Culture, on November 14, 2019. We conducted provincial stakeholder engagement to further develop and clarify our recommendations. We received a response to our report from the provincial government and incorporated their feedback. Specific asks will include a number of initiatives in health and mental wellness; culture and community building; education; heritage; and acknowledgement and combatting racism. These specific asks will be presented to the BC government at upcoming meetings.<\/p>\n

Thank you to John Price and the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives for this collaboration. The NAJC works to raise awareness about the history of Japanese Canadians and anti-Asian racism, so that people can learn and work to create the inclusive thriving society we desire, free from systemic racism, and equity for Black, Indigenous and People of Colour.<\/p>\n
