@ctvnewsvi: October 2, 2026: Monument to Japanese Canadians forcibly uprooted during the Second World War opens in Victoria. The site will bring together 22-thousand names of Japanese Canadians who were forcibly uprooted from communities during the Second World War. As CTV's Brendan Strain reports, survivors and their family members from across Canada came to Victoria to witness the historic moment. #japanese #japanesecanadian #canadian #canadianhistory #japaneselegacy #canadianlegacy #secondworldwar #worldwar2history #canadianhistory #monument #victoriabc #ctvnewsvancouverisland #vancouverisland #vancouverislandnews #bcnews #bchistory #historytiktok #downtownvictoria
Just drove by the back of this today- I thought it was a fence. It could use a large sign for tour buses and visitors. Now looking forward to pay my respects!

I grew up in Richmond BC. I grew up with all these seniors grandkids. It's always been upsetting we treated them like this. Encampments in Mid Way, Greenwood. Just sad man. Japanese people are awesome and I have many amazing Japanese friends.

Japanese spies surveyed all of the countries before they were invaded. I am not saying it was right but that probably was the justification for interning Japanese Canadians.

Their homes were stolen, locals took over them. All over bc, families stole them all.

People forget Japan wasn’t apart of the good guys back then and the Japanese in Canada had ties to Japan which could have been a national security threat for us
