Learning From Memories and Reflections: 75 Years After the Japanese-Canadian War Internment in Kaslo
On the Thanksgiving weekend of 2017, the Langham Cultural Society commemorated Canadians of Japanese descent who were in the West Kootenay during WWII imprisoned by the Canadian Government without due process. The Langham’s commemorations of the 75th Anniversary of WWII Internment recalled this tragic event, and acknowledged the strength and resilience of Japanese Canadians and their descendants over the past seventy-five years.
