The Japanese Canadian Experience
Historica Canada Education Portal The Asahi Baseball Team: The Japanese Canadian Experience Overview Have your students explore the Japanese Canadian experience in Canada in the twentieth century through sports. Students will examine the remarkable story of the Asahi baseball team as a window into this history. Students will be asked to use primary source material and explore the concepts of continuity and change in history. Aims Prescribed Learning Outcomes • Apply critical thinking skills, including questioning, comparing, summarizing, drawing conclusions and defending a position, to make reasoned judgments about a range of issues, situations and topics. • Assess the development and impact of Canadian social policies and programs related to immigration, the welfare state and minority rights. • Assess Canada’s role in World War II and the war’s impact on Canada. • Generate and critique different interpretations of primary and secondary sources. • Assess and defend a variety of positions on controversial issues. Concepts in Historical Thinking Continuity and Change 1. Identify time periods and turning points. 2. Make a reasoned judgement as to progress and decline in Canada’s relationship to ethnic minorities. Background Students should be able to complete the task without much background knowledge. However, the teacher may glean richer responses if students have fuller background knowledge of Canadian history. Experience working with primary source material and the Benchmarks concept of Continuity and Change is helpful but not essential. Activities Time Allowance: 2-3 periods (60 minutes) Procedures: 1. Some students may have no formal introduction to the concepts of Continuity and Change from the Benchmarks of Historical Thinking. As a way to introduce this concept to students, ask them to identify any points in their lives that could be seen as turning points or tipping points, moments when things changed dramatically.

A Second Strike Baseball and the Canadian Armed Forces During World War Two
A Second Strike Baseball and the Canadian Armed Forces during World War Two During the First World War, baseball was Canada’s national game. Baseball was officially sanctioned as part of the Dominion war effort. The Canadian government believed that baseball built better soldiers and that no other sport was better suited to teach teamwork, sacrifice or individual responsibility. Canadian soldiers so loved the game that they played it on rest, in reserve and within striking distance of German artillery. Military hospitals organized baseball leagues to rejuvenate physical bodies and heal war scarred souls. Some enlisted men spent their time away from the front establishing a Patriotic Tea House in England. The profits from that soldier-run enterprise were spent exclusively on the purchase of baseball equipment. Curious locals, King George V himself and paying crowds in the tens of thousands watched Canada’s soldiers play ball. Baseball’s ability to recall a peaceful homeland comforted men while its expressions gave them a vocabulary with which to express and suppress their experiences at the front. Canadians played other sports during the war, but none so often as baseball.1 The story of Canadian baseball during The Great War is examined in Batted Balls and Bayonets available through the Centre for Canadian Baseball Research2 or via http://baseballresearch.ca/wp- content/uploads/2018/03/Dame17.pdf By the time Canadian soldiers arrived overseas to fight a second world war, baseball’s relationship with the average fighting-age Canadian was significantly different. The National Hockey League was organized seven months after the battle of Vimy Ridge.
