Scope and content |
In this report, the BC Security Commission gives a brief history of government actions during 1942. It outlines the executive
orders and organizations created in efforts to suppress Japanese-Canadian relations
with Japan, dispossess them from their property, and their subsequent internment.
It also provides details of the camps and work projects designed to help “rehabilitate”
Japanese-Canadians as well as efforts to “repatriate” them to Japan. Summaries are
given for the Sugar Beat Projects, and the Interior Housing Projects of Greenwood, Kaslo, Sandon, New Denver, Slocan and Tashme.

Terminology
Readers of these historical materials will encounter derogatory references to Japanese
Canadians and euphemisms used to obscure the intent and impacts of the internment
and dispossession. While these are important realities of the history, the Landscapes
of Injustice Research Collective urges users to carefully consider their own terminological
choices in writing and speaking about this topic today as we confront past injustice.
