He graduated from the University of British Columbia in 1925 and from Kirksville College of Osteopathy and Surgery in Missouri in 1929. Dr. Miyazaki received his licence to practise from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia, and after further training in Los Angeles opened an office in Vancouver. From 1930 until 1942 he practised his profession and took an active role in local Japanese affairs, serving as treasurer of the Canadian Japanese Association from 1938 to 1941.
Dr. Miyazaki and his family were evacuated in 1942 to the townsite of Bridge River located at South Shalath. In 1945, he moved to Lillooet when Artie Phair petitioned the BC Security Commission to have him move there. He resumed private practice until his retirement in 1970. He published his autobiography "My Sixty Years in Canada" in 1973 and was awarded the Order of Canada in recognition of his services to the community in 1977. Dr. Miyazaki's old house in Lillooet, which he donated to the community upon his departure in 1983, was renamed Miyazaki House and remains a heritage site open to the public for tours to this day.Additional information:General note:Received in 1975 from Dr. Miyazaki.
