*JC Survivors, as defined by JCLS, are living persons of Japanese descent, born prior to April 1, 1949, who were directly impacted by the British Columbia government action in the 1940’s. The monument wall features the names of all Japanese Canadians uprooted in 1942 AND a second set of names of children born after uprooting and up to and including March 31, 1949, after which freedom to return to the coast was fully granted.
