Nikkei Internment Memorial Centre

Nestled in the Fraser Canyon near the town of Hope, British Columbia, the Nikkei Internment Memorial Centre stands as a poignant reminder of a chapter in Canadian history. Open seasonally, typically from spring to fall, this center commemorates the experiences of Japanese Canadians during the internment years of World War II. Visitors can explore the museum's exhibits and outdoor displays, which include reconstructed buildings and interpretive panels, shedding light on the unjust internment of over 22,000 Japanese Canadians. The Nikkei Internment Memorial Centre serves as a place of reflection, remembrance, and education, offering guided tours and educational programs to raise awareness about the impact of wartime policies on individuals and communities. This center plays a crucial role in preserving the history of the internment years and fostering a deeper understanding of the importance of human rights during its operating season.
