A monument in Victoria, the province\u2019s Capital, is being planned to honour all Japanese Canadians who were uprooted, dispossessed, interned, and displaced in the 1940s. The research to gather names is taking place at the University of Victoria and will be completed by January 31 2024, under the guidance of Project Director, Michael Abe.<\/p>\n
The monument is a key initiative of the Japanese Canadian Legacies Society and will be managed through the Ministry of Citizens Services.<\/p>\n
Thank you everyone for your valuable and important input to the Monument database project. \u00a0Since the consultation with the community started on June 1, 2023 we’ve fielded input from over 900 community members. \u00a0Our research team have been diligently researching each and every one of your enquiries and will continue to do so to the end of January when we wrap up the project.<\/p>\n
We still need your help to ensure our list is as accurate as possible. Please review the database for spelling, omissions and locations and share this request with other JC relatives and friends.<\/p>\n
