WINNER of CBC Canada Reads
#1 National Bestseller

Forgiveness is the powerful story of author Mark Sakamoto's family’s harrowing experiences during World War II. Ralph, Sakamoto’s maternal grandfather, was a Canadian soldier of European descent who spent years in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp. Mitsue, his paternal grandmother, was one of the thousands of Japanese Canadians interned by the government. In the face of tremendous adversity and transgressions, they chose not to live a life of anger but instead to embrace forgiveness—a gift of love they passed down to their families.

🎭 Don't miss the theatrical production of Forgiveness, ongoing until Feb 12 at the Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage.

Historic Hope Station Rehabilitation Project: 'Gateway to our stories, Gateway to Hope'

By the Tashme Historical Society in partnership with the District of Hope


Cast your vote from Jan 20 - Feb 22 on the National Trust for Canada's 'Next Great Save' Contest

The 1916 CNR Hope Station has been much loved but was facing demolition. It needed a new location, a new purpose, and a facelift.

Then it was discovered that in 1942, over 8000 Japanese Canadians crossed the train platform on their way to internment camps, including 2644 men, women, and children who were forcibly sent to the Tashme Internment Camp, 19 km east of Hope.

Inspired, the Tashme Historical Society, in partnership with the District of Hope, developed a plan to rehabilitate the station into a vibrant storytelling hub with a museum & visitor centre, restaurant, and co-work office space: a “Gateway to our stories, a Gateway to hope”. のぞみ駅 (nozomi-eki) – ‘a station of hope’ in Japanese, that will gift the feeling of belonging in space for stories untold.

Vote for Hope Station to be awarded the grand prize below -- the funds would be used towards hiring heritage architects/consultants so the work may begin!

日系カナダ人にまつわる歴史の保存のために「Hope Station のぞみ駅」の応援をよろしくお願いします。戦時中に強制収容された時に大勢の日系人の通過点だったホープの駅舎を保存・修繕し、ミュージアム、ビジターセンター、レストラン、オフィスの複合施設を作るプロジェクトが立ち上がりました。カナダトラストの寄金がどのプロジェクトにいくか一般投票で決められます。2月22日までにあなたの一票を投じてくさい。
