We just stumbled upon this while drive thru. I think everyone should take a half hour and stop here if you are in the area. A Very important part of our history!
For the sake of future generations, take your family here if you happen to be passing through New Denver. We Canadians have to remember what we did to the Japanese-Canadian CITIZENS! Never forget.
A good place to go and remember what happened many years ago. It was interesting to learn one of the buildings had been occupied until the 80s. My kids were also surprised to learn a family of 8 would share a bedroom and then shared the common kitchen with another family of 8. This place could have been bigger as there was a lot to see in a small space and the history deserves more attention.
Excellent exhibit detailing the horrific treatment Japanese Canadians received at the hands of the Canadian government. They were uprooted from their homes and jobs with all their assets confiscated. The compensation they were offered in the 1950s was a pittance. An apology from the government wasn't forthcoming for many years. The photos and the internment buildings gave a very good picture of the hardships these Canadians received. Recommended for all ages.
Beautiful tribute Japanese gardens located in New Denver British Columbia. Serene ponds and benches to allow you to sit and contemplate the past and the future.
