Sufficient funds were provided under the Project Grants Program of the EHC to produce both soft cover and hard cover copies of the report and to distribute them to interested individuals as well as to noted libraries, museums and depositories here in Edmonton, in Canada and in Japan, including the National Archive of Japan and the Japanese Overseas Migration Museum in Yokohama. 1 1. Project Scope 1.1. Scope In January 2010, the Edmonton Japanese Community Association (EJCA) established a History Project Committee. The purpose of the project was to gather information about Japanese-Canadians (and people with Japanese heritage) in Edmonton and the surrounding area. Phase 1 of the History Project started in March 2010. It conducted interviews, collected old documents and established a method to archive materials that were gathered. Phase 2 started in September 2012 and collected more detailed information. A report of the interviews and data collected in Phases 1 and 2 was published in July 2014. During Phase 1, we found a document, ”Nakayama Shiro, the Comprehensive List of Japanese-Canadians, July 1921“ that included a list of Japanese living in Edmonton in 1921 and the biographies of key individuals. There were 25 people listed. Another document, “ Tairiku Nippo, Japanese Name List, September 1941 “ was a list of Japanese and Japanese Canadians living in Canada in 1941. The total number listed was about 23,000 including 13,000 born in Canada (i.e. second generation or nisei), 2,500 Japanese-Canadians, and 7,500 Japanese. 1912 was the first year when a few Japanese were recorded formally as residents in Edmonton although there had been Japanese people living in the Edmonton area on a temporary basis before 1912. So, 2012 was the 100th anniversary of the history of Japanese Canadians in Edmonton. According to the Statistics Canada’s census, the number of Canadians or permanent residents with Japanese ancestry was as follow: 1941 1951 1961 1971 1981 1991 1996 2001 2006 2011 Canada 23,149 21,663 29,179 37,255 40,990 65,965 68,135 85,225 98,990 109,740 Alberta 578 3,336 3,721 4,460 5,225 8,745 8,275 11,945 13,465 15,650 Lethbridge 2 314 838 920 n/a n/a n/a 1,365 1,705 2,120 Calgary 82 137 456 935 n/a 2,855 3,875 4,710 5,820 6,605 Edmonton 35 124 230 610 n/a 1,820 1,910 2,235 2,835 3,650 During the Phase 1 and 2 activities, it was noticed that there was no recent data about the lives of Japanese and Japanese-Canadians so the History Committee decided to capture a snapshot of Japanese, Japanese Canadian, and other people of Japanese ancestry, living in the Edmonton area, as of June 2013. This became known as Phase 3. It was felt that the data would provide valuable and interesting information for future generations. Working definitions for the survey: During initial discussions, it was realized that “the Japanese in Edmonton” could have a few interpretations so it was decided to use the following guidelines. Japanese: Japanese citizens, especially those likely leave Edmonton within five years (i.e. temporary residents of Edmonton area) 2 Japanese-Canadian: 1. Canadian with Japanese ancestor(s), including those with dual citizenship. 2. Canadian born in Japan, including dual citizens. 3. Japanese with Canadian landed immigrant status. 4. Japanese without Canadian landed immigrant status but planning to live in Canada over next 5 years. Others with Japanese heritage: Neither Canadian nor Japanese nationality; e.g. second generation Japanese American, Japanese married to a French person and living in the Edmonton area. 1.2. Timelines January 2013 Decision to conduct a survey collecting information about Japanese and Japanese Canadians living in the Edmonton area. May 2013 Survey questionnaire finalized June-August 2013 Survey conducted (online and paper versions) August 2013 Paper responses combined with online responses Aug 2013 - 2015 Responses in Japanese translated to English September 2015 Collection of missing photos and personal histories completed September 2015 Draft survey report completed and presented at EJCA Annual General Meeting March 2016 Collection of seniors’ histories completed April 2016 Report ready for printing June 2016 Phase 3 project completed 1.3.

    AB Today – Daily Report January 22, 2019 Quotation of the day “What is clear from research by my team and other leading institutes is that oil sands expansion is inconsistent with preventing warming greater than two degrees celsius. If the NEB is considering climate change, no further expansion of delivery infrastructure from the oil sands should be approved.” Mark Jaccard, climate-energy economics professor at Simon Fraser University, calls on the ​ ​ ​ National Energy Board to review climate impacts during its reconsideration of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. Today in AB On the schedule The Legislature will reconvene on March 18 for the government’s final throne speech before the spring election. Minister, government whip announce they will not seek re-election Two high-profile NDP MLAs announced Monday they will not be seeking re-election. Infrastructure Minister Sandra Jansen, the infamous PC floor-crosser representing ​ ​ Calgary—North West, and Government Whip Estefania Cortes-Vargas, the first-term MLA ​ ​ ​ ​ from Strathcona—Sherwood Park, won’t be running for the NDP when the writ drops. In her exit statement, Jansen praised Premier Rachel Notley’s leadership, but said “after many ​ ​ years in public life” leaving politics is “the right decision for me and my family.” “Let me say, this is not an easy decision,” Jansen said. “I am proud of what I have been able to accomplish on behalf of my constituents, particularly over these last two years.” On Monday, her Twitter account was deleted. After defecting from the PCs to the NDP in 2016, Jansen temporarily brought on extra security from the Executive Protection Unit after receiving death threats.

    Unlocking Radicalization: Correctional Officers, Risk Perception, and Ideological Extremism in Albertan Prisons by William James Schultz A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Sociology University of Alberta © William James Schultz, 2017 ii Abstract A wide range of sources have framed radicalization into violent extremism as a serious risk to prisons in Europe and North America. Some view prisons as a primary recruiting ground for groups like ISIS. I investigated whether this was accurate in Alberta by conducting semi- structured interviews with 43 correctional officers in three Alberta prisons. I asked three questions: 1. Do correctional officers observe what they perceive as radicalization among their inmate populations? 2. How do correctional officers perceive and govern the risks associated with ‘radical’ inmates? 3. What influence does an insider/outsider role play in shaping prison research? I found nothing to suggest active radical activity within my research sites, suggesting prison radicalization is largely an irrelevant threat in the Albertan Context. However, I also discovered that officers have (in many cases) unconsciously redefined the meaning of “radicalization,” and have applied the label onto inmates who are resistant to officer control, rather than members of ideologically violent radical groups. I explore this at length using Ulrich Beck’s Risk Society hypothesis. Finally, I discovered my status as a former correctional officer played a strong role in casting me as an “Insider/Outsider” researcher, something which deeply shaped my research experience and impacted the data I was able to gather. iii Preface This thesis is an original work by William Schultz.
