Japanese Families of Pender Harbour
CALL FOR INFORMATION
In April 2026, we will be part of a coast-wide Japanese Canadian exhibit in collaboration with Egmont Heritage Centre and Sunshine Coast Museum in Gibsons.
As we explore Japanese Canadian community histories, we are looking for stories of the Ikeda, Kayahara and Kawasaki families who lived in Pender Harbour before the war, their time during internment and where they are today.
Please contact us if you have any stories or photos to share.
This coast-wide exhibit project is generously supported by Sunshine Coast Foundation.
