Uprooted: A Journey of Japanese Canadian Fishing Families (Vancouver)

This exhibition traces families in the fishing industry as they built communities in Canada , and faced increasing racism as they flourished. Up and down British Columbia's coast Japanese immigrants revolutionized the fishing industry. They also built homes, schools and places of worship. Uprooted will chronicle the building and rebuilding of community through personal histories, images and artifacts presented in an exhibit space evocative of a cannery town. This exhibition is on loan from the Gulf of Georgia Cannery.
