Keenleyside, then the Chairman of the Board of Review at the Canadian Immigration Office in Vancouver, BC. The thesis of the brief is succinctly expressed by the opening paragraph: "As requested
at the time of our attendance before your Board of Review on March 24th, 1938, the
following facts are submitted in support of our contention that the Oriental situation
in British Columbia is vitally affecting the welfare of not only British Columbia,
but the whole Dominion of Canada."

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.
