PAST.
It’s February, 24,1942, We were all fast asleep in our beds, when all of a sudden people were coming into our homes and telling us to grab only what we could carry. Everyone was being rushed out of their homes, and being sent out on trains. Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King wanted to evacuate anyone who was Japanese, because he thought that the “Canadians” would be/feel safer if we were all gone. So they put us into these places called “Protective Areas”. It was very hard at times, considering there was so many people, we also had no running water or electricity. Many of our husbands were taken away from us, and sent out to road camps in Ontario and on the BC/Alberta border. The people who resisted and challenged the orders
