Japanese Canadian Citizens' League

The Japanese Canadian Citizens' League was an organization established in the 1930s to advocate for the rights, welfare, and social integration of Japanese Canadians. During a period of increasing discrimination and anti-Japanese sentiment, the league aimed to promote community solidarity, political representation, and protections against unjust treatment. It played a key role in supporting Japanese Canadians amid challenges like internment during World War II, working to preserve rights and dignity for its community members.
