</b><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:windowtext"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:windowtext">In 1942 during the Second World War, 22,000 Japanese Canadians living in British Columbia were forcibly uprooted and permanently stripped of their homes, businesses, and belongings and relocated
to internment camps outside the coastal BC area and displaced across the country, with some exiled to Japan. The majority of the uprooted Japanese Canadians were born in BC.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:windowtext">Overnight, lives were shattered and entire communities eradicated. Japanese Canadians trusted they would one day return to their homes. Instead, their properties and possessions were sold without
their consent. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:windowtext">After the war ended in 1945, the majority of Japanese Canadians were prevented from returning to the coast. They were ordered to either move east of the Rockies or to war-torn Japan. When the
community was allowed to return to the coast in 1949, it had nothing to return to.
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:windowtext"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default" style="page-break-before:always"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:windowtext">The history of what happened to Japanese Canadian communities in BC is still relatively unknown.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default" style="page-break-before:always"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:windowtext">In recognition of this history, the Province of BC has supported the BC Heritage Sites program managed by the Japanese Canadian Legacies Society.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:windowtext">The purpose of the program is to assist local communities in promoting the legacies of Japanese Canadians in British Columbia through interpretive projects at sites of historical significance.
These sites recognize a community who made important contributions to the building of this province, yet endured forced uprooting, incarceration, permanent dispossession, and displacement.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:windowtext">This program is intended to help make some of these now mostly invisible sites visible to new generations of British Columbians so that they may learn to appreciate the lasting legacies of Japanese
Canadians in BC. Initiatives may include projects that promote memorialization, conservation and/or education of Japanese Canadian history tailored to a region within the province of British Columbia. These projects will have an enduring value.

<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:windowtext">Commemorating and celebrating our historic places—most of which remain under-recognized and underserved—is at the heart of the Japanese Canadian community’s work to rebuild connections to its
heritage in British Columbia, and share this history and its lessons with all British Columbians.
