Scope and content |
This item includes minutes of the War Committee of the Cabinet, dated 09 September 1942. These minutes discuss the admission of Japanese Canadians
and nationals who had been "evacuated" out of British Columbia to universities in other parts of Canada. The item indicates that the cabinet recognized "certain risks involved, especially
in science departments where government work might be going on." Its distinction between
nationals and Japanese Canadians was noted, and it was argued any exclusionary provisions
would affect German and Italian students as well. It was decided that admission would
ultimately be left to universities to decide.

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.
