An exceptional place. Very impressive. Takes an hour to see and read everything and soak up the atmosphere and take a few quiet minutes to reflect.

The people involved in this project have helped preserve something that is so profoundly solemn and an almost neglected part of Canadian history. It really opened my eyes, and mind, about the atrocities forced upon Japanese Canadians by the provincial and federal governments. No matter your level of knowledge about this chapter of history, you should visit, and learn, and experience this wonderful site.

Instructif sur l’histoire terrible des japonais arrivés au Canada. Bien présenté dans une ambiance d’époque. Visite assez rapide. A ne pas rater.

To understand our history we must take evidence of what we have done. The Nikkei Internment Memorial has been wonderfully preserved to show the different stages of living conditions of the Japanese Canadians from 1941 to the 1980's.
The buildings and gardens have been kept in great condition. The main hall holds pictures and excerpts.

What an amazing Museum!
The photos, layout and artifacts are laid out for best experience.
My husband's family went through the internment and we both learned things we didn't know in this exhibit.
I think it is critical to understand this part of BC history and how it affected so very many people.
I will certainly be back!

Nature’s beauty intertwined with Canada’s darker past.
Walking through the green wet trees so tranquil.
Stepping inside to rooms of hardship and sadness.
This is truly a place of yin & yang
