Japanese Canadians living in an internment camp during the construction of the Yellowhead Highway in Western Canada, 1942

During the construction of the Yellowhead Highway in Western Canada in 1942, the Japanese Canadians who found themselves interned in camps faced unimaginable challenges. These individuals, many of whom were forced to leave their homes, businesses, and communities, endured harsh living conditions and the loss of their basic freedoms. Despite the adversity they faced, they demonstrated resilience and perseverance. They contributed their labor and skills to the construction of the highway, a testament to their determination and their desire to maintain their dignity and a sense of purpose in the face of injustice. The construction of the Yellowhead Highway stands as a painful reminder of the internment experience, but also as a symbol of the strength and resilience of Japanese Canadians during one of the darkest chapters in Canadian history.
