Kim Nakashima was the organization’s first president. In 1979 the JCCCM began running drop-in programmes for senior citizens; however, it was not until 1982 that the Japanese Canadian History and Archives Committee began actively preserving the history of the community in both Montréal and Canada. The mandate of this non-profit organization is not only to maintain a community centre in Montréal, but also to initiate, develop and promote social, cultural, educational and charitable activities for community members. Its administrative structure consists of a President, Vice President, treasurer, Board of Directors, various committees, including the History and Archives, as well as a council of representatives of different groups active in the community. The centre has received government grants for employment creation which have helped to finance its projects and activities. Although the chief Japanese Canadian organization in Montréal, the JCCCM had close ties with the National Association of Japanese Canadians (NAJC) through the Québec Chapter. In fact, many members of the JCCCM have been active in NAJC organizations, including Rei Nakashima, who served as the president of both organizations; as such, the JCHAC archives has a substantial collection of records recording NAJC activities, both at provincial and national levels. The archives also contains local and national records from the National Japanese Canadian Centennial Society (JCCS), under the leadership of Roger Obata, chairperson, and Toyo Takata, executive director, which was established in order to coordinate centennial celebration activities across Canada to commemorate the 100th anniversary (1977) of the arrival of the first Japanese individual, Manzo Nagano, in Canada. Additionally, many members of the JCCCM work on the community’s newsletter, The Montréal Bulletin, of which the archives has a complete set of originals. The History and Archives Committee falls under the aegis of the JCCCM and is arranged horizontally by function. It could best be characterized as having a fluid reporting structure. Since the inception of the JCCCM, several activities and projects initiated by the History and Archives Committee have aimed at preserving Japanese Canadian history. Starting in 1982, older members of the community were interviewed by students, under the supervision of anthropologist Keibo Oiwa, funded by the federal government’s Summer Employment Programme (Article 38) and biographical information was compiled. Additionally, three or four exhibitions at a college and at a shopping centre have been carried out; however, since Redress in 1988 there have been no further large scale exhibitions. Guest speakers have, on occasion, delivered presentations at local schools to promote awareness of the community in Montréal. The History and Archives Committee has also produced two publications on the history of Japanese Canadians in Canada, Repartir à Zéro, published in 1987 to accompany the photo exhibit of the same name, focusing specifically on the history of Japanese Canadians in Montréal; and Ganbari: Reclaiming our Home, published in 1998 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Redress, and serving as an update for information on the Japanese Canadian Community in Montréal. Scope and content note: The collection documents the experiences of Japanese Canadians in Montréal and in Canada, as well as Japanese Canadian cultural and social contributions, over an approximately 60 year period, mainly 1940-2000. The collection contains records reflecting the activities of the JCCCM organization and often related to individuals and/or families, and includes correspondence, photographs, and a variety of printed materials. The collection also contains detailed biographical records, compiled during the 1980s, related to the Issei, Nisei, and Sansei as well as other non-Japanese individuals active in the community. In addition, there are approximately 150 tape recordings, transcripts, and oral histories; art work and cultural contributions done by members of the Japanese community; directories, newspapers, publications, pamphlets, and records; administrative records of the NAJC chapter in Montréal; as well as local and national NAJC and JCCS records.. The series consist of 1) publications; 2) biographical files; 3) general subject files; 4) Japanese Canadian Centennial Society (JCCS) files; and 5) NAJC/ Redress files. Many of the files are arranged alphabetically or by subject. Custodial History: The collection was transferred by Rei Nakashima, on October 2, 2005. These records, created by the History and Archives committee of the JCCCM, had been stored in Rei Nakashima’s house prior to their transfer to the McGill University Archives. Languages: Mainly English, with some Japanese and French. Title: Based on the contents of the collection.

DESCRIPTORS *Canadian Studies; Elementary Secondary Education; Foreign Countries; Higher Education; *Minority Group Teachers; Minority Groups; *Multicultural Education; North American Culture; *Preservice Teacher Education; Social Studies; *Teacher Education IDENTIFIERS British Columbia ABSTRACT This paper uses the ethno-cultural composition of the Canadian population and the framework of multicultural policies as a springboard for examining how a democratic state prepares new teachers for teaching in a multicultural society. The education community has come to accept multiculturalism as a foundation of Canadian identity, although there are different levels of understanding and different organizational positions. All stakeholders in the British Columbia (Canada) educational system have agreed that the recruitment of visible minority students to teaching rather than specific program offerings in teacher education is one significant way to address multiculturalism and race relations in the public education system. The paper is divided into the following sections:(1) Introduction; (2) "Multicultural Composition of Canada and British Columbia"; (3) "Multiculturalism in Policy"; (4) "Multiculturalism in Social Studies Curriculum: British Columbia"; (5) "Multiculturalism and Pre-service Teacher Education in British Columbia"; and (6) Conclusion. Contains a 21-item bibliography, and an appendix with 3 charts and 6 graphs depicting the dimensions of the Canadian population complete the paper.

  • Religion and the State in the Canadian Interfaith Conference, 1965-1967
    God in the Centennial: Religion and the State in the Canadian Interfaith Conference, 1965-1967 GARY MIEDEMA “The experience of 100 years as a modern political state Canada, is as a milestone on our national journey,” spoke Peter Aykroyd to the assembled delegates. “Our passage up to and past that milestone is inexorable. We must prepare for the day when we will reach it. It cannot be moved. We cannot turn aside. It will not go away.” The group to which he spoke, he argued, was “in a position of influence . of power and of responsibility, of a kind not represented by any other Centennial group . and potentially exercisable to a degree not possible by secular oriented organizations.”1 So argued Aykroyd, Director of Public Relations for the Canadian Centennial Commission (CCC), to a unique audience indeed. From the po- dium, he looked out into the faces of representatives of 28 different faith groups in Canada, gathered on that day to discuss, plan and listen. Catholic bishops and Pentecostal laymen, Jewish rabbis and Muslim officials, fol- lowers of Ba’ha’u’lah and followers of Buddha all sat quietly, side by side, gathered as members of one organization: the Canadian Interfaith Conference (CIC). Begun in 1965, the CIC was established to plan for and encourage participation in Canada’s 1967 Centennial celebrations, without doubt the largest, most comprehensive, nationalist project in Canadian history. From a total of 24 different faith groups at its first meeting in July of 1965 the membership of the CIC grew to 28 by April 1966, and to 34 by its third and final meeting in 1967.
