Kaikyoushi Hikarishi

Also, in the English Directory there is a buddhist temple listed at this address, and the kanji in this name suggests that this may actually be a buddhist temple due to their meanings (light, forest, open, doctrine, and use). However, 寺 is not present which argues against this being a temple.

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.
