Recognizing an Historic Injustice: Canada’s First National Internment Operations, 1914–1920 seeks to raise critical awareness among secondary school students about the largely unknown story of Canada’s first national internment operations. The publication is an attempt to recognize those who suffered from this injustice and, through greater awareness, ensure that similar injustices are less likely to be to be repeated.
