Community kitchen at Japanese Canadian internment camp
Black and white archival photograph showing the interior of the community kitchen at a Japanese Canadian internment camp located in Greenwood, BC. A number of women can be seen working and standing in the kitchen. There are also a number of children who seem to be waiting to eat their meal. In February of 1942 the Canadian government authorized the relocation and internment of Japanese Canadians. Roughly 700 Japanese Canadians were interned and more than 22,000 Japanese Canadians were forcibly relocated.
