Torazou Iwasaki

In the directory RMD is listed in the address area, however, I am not sure what it exactly is. I attempted to look up potential meanings for RMD and came across Resource Management Division, wich considering salmon and timber resources is a possibility.

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.
