We are thrilled to be back with more episodes and this time in partnership with the Canadian Race Relations Foundation (CRRF). In this episode we dive into the creation of the CRRF, which came out of the Japanese Redress Agreement in the 1980s.
Many people would be shocked to learn that during World War 2, tens of thousands of Japanese Canadian citizens were forcibly interned in camps throughout the country living in deplorable conditions. Deemed "enemy aliens" despite sometimes living in Canada for generations, they had their homes and businesses confiscated and sold by the government.
