Ryoshi - Nikkei Fishermen of the BC Coast
Nikkei Museum

September 15, 2012 – May 19, 2013
From the bustling docks of Steveston to remote inlets on the northern Coast, Japanese Canadians have made unique contribution to fishing in BC both before and after the war. Their story is intertwined with the labour and political history of BC – before 1949, the province had some of the toughest racial exclusion laws in Canada. With pride and perseverance, the Nikkei community proved their skill as fishermen and cannery works, and built a new life as Canadian citizens.
Tourism Burnaby sent a blogger to check out the exhibit. Read her thoughts at the 11Stations Blog.
Supported by: Nikkei Fishermen’s Reunion Project, the BC Arts Council, G&F Financial Group, Canadian Fishing Company, Gulf of Georgia Cannery
