This item contains one letter written by the Canadian Japanese Association to the Provincial Government in 1916. The Canadian Japanese expressed several requests to benefit the new Japanese Canadian populations in British Columbia. The Association requested: 1. give the franchise to naturalised citizens of Japanese origin, 2. allow Japanese-Canadians to obtain hand logger’s and timber licenses, 3. “that the restrictions against the employment of Oriental labour, as far as Canadian naturalized citizens of Japanese origin are concerned, be removed” and, 4. to be placed “on the same plane” as naturalized citizens from any other country.
