A monument in Victoria, the province’s Capital, is being planned to honour all Japanese
Canadians who were uprooted, dispossessed, interned, and displaced in the 1940s. The
research to gather names is taking place at the University of Victoria and will be
completed by January 31 2024, under the guidance of Project Director, Michael Abe.
This fund and project will be managed jointly by the Ministry of Attorney General,
the Ministry of Citizens Services and the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport.
