Population growth, labour tensions, and economic booms and busts have shaped life throughout Vancouver’s history. At the heart of the turbulence of the early part of the early 1900’s were first- and second-generation Japanese Canadians who established a thriving community of 8,000 people in the Powell Street neighbourhood.
The neighbourhood changed completely following the internment of Japanese Canadians, but there are still many clues which, once we see them and understand what they are, help us connect to the rich history of a displaced community.
Begin with a 30-minute history presentation at the Vancouver Japanese Language School & Japanese Hall, the only property retained by Japanese Canadians through the war years and internment.
For the next 1-1.5 hours, head outdoors and explore the streets, learning how the Powell Street community developed, flourished, came apart, and evolved.
