This was one of a series of signs unveiled in B.C. in 2018 by the Japanese Canadian Legacy Committee in partnership with the Ministry of Transportation. This particular sign, in a pullout overlooking the Village of Slocan, commemorates the former internment camps of Lemon Creek, Bay Farm, Popoff, and Slocan Extension.
Sign that commemorates the Japanese Canadian internment camps of the lower Slocan Valley.
This sign was very easy to find, right in a prominent turn on the main highway (the Lemon Creek and Slocan signs were impossible to find). The content covered a great deal of history within the limited dimensions, and the historic photos were appreciated.
