Reparative Descriptive Note:
The original title has been updated to reflect new research which identifies this image as being related to the 1946 deportations and not the 1942 forced removals of the Japanese Canadian community from the west coast of British Columbia. See Source of Title. (Originally updated:2023-11-16)
Historical Note:
Following Japan's attack on the American naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on 7 December 1941, the Government of Canada forcibly removed from the coastal islands and the west coast of B.C some 20,000 Japanese Canadians and sent them to internment camps in the BC interior. To pay for their internment, the federal government liquidated their property held in trust by the Office of the Custodian of Enemy Property. In 1946, the Government of Canada deported and exiled 3,964 Japanese Canadians to Japan. Over half were Canadian-born. One third of the dependent children were under the age of 16. Japanese Canadians remaining in Canada were not permitted to return to the west coast until 1949. (Originally updated: 2023-11-16)Source of title:Title is based upon the caption of the same photograph in "The New Canadian," dated 22 June 1946 just days after the sailing of the USS General M.C. Meigs, the second deportation ship, on 16 June 1946. LAC accepts this title as more reliable than one created much later after the original photograph was published.

Please Note: "The New Canadian," was the English language newspaper which began publishing in Vancouver, B.C. in 1939, as the voice of the Nisei (Canadian-born Japanese). After the attack on Pearl Harbor, it resumed publishing in the Kaslo, B.C. Internment Camp. A Japanese-language section was added to better serve the Issei, or first-generation Japanese Canadians. In 1945, the paper moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba, and subsequently, in 1949, to Toronto, Ontario, where it continued publishing until 2001.
