Start a Conversation
This subject raises many issues, among them: whether the Canadian government’s action was justified for the time; the need to protect the fine balance between individual rights and the common good; the role of memory in history; and the argument for financial compensation and a formal apology. Do you have an opinion on these issues? Does the subject raise other questions?

With your help, we hope to develop the most comprehensive archival database on this important period in Canadian World War II history. Here you can share your family’s story, add information on an internee, post photographs or videos, or find out about donating an object.

To the project team—— Thank you so much for this post. This world would be a so much better place if people could look around themselves and see the rainbow seen by you. In my own family, we have incredible diversity. We are white, black, asian and hispanic. We are Jewish, Catholic, Unitarian, Christian (various denominations). We are Europeans, North Americans, Israelis, Lithuanians, Romanians, Australians and on and on. The most beautiful sight to imagine is the chance to see our youngest cousins between 3-9 years old playing together at family gatherings. You see smiles, laughter, excitment and sharing. The rainbow of our family’s children celebrate their differences and LEARN from each other. Well done team. Keep up the good work. Someday, maybe by the time your child is in charge, we’ll see the full range of the spectrum of humanity’s rainbow learn how to celebrate each other.
