Nikkei Internment Memorial Centre

Harrowing. An almost forgotten, and shameful part of Canadian history.

This stop on our tour was a sad but educational time! I'm so glad "The Orchard" was not destroyed because of the people still living there to support and help care for their relatives in the Sanitarium with Taberculosis. What a horrible event that took place in our history to Canadian's, of Japanese decent, but Canadian's none the less! We need to be reminded this has happened so it won't Happen again! ❤️

This quiet little museum is a gem in a small community. We took took our kids of 15 and 13 and we all enjoyed it. The kids and us learnt a lot in this short (45 mins) walk through self guided tour.

Let’s remember the past. Worth a visit with a lot of documentation of the entire Japanese internment period. Replica buildings of homes, bathhouses, and temple plus the gardens of course. Definitely hit this, then onto Sandon. A ghost town.

Nice neat and tidy. Everything is laid out nicely with lots of descriptors. I have a distant relative who was interned here. Awe full experience for a Canadian citizen to go through.
