The New Canadian

The New Canadian began publishing in 1938 in Vancouver, and was billed as the “voice of the Nisei.” In 1942, under heavy censorship, it was the only Japanese Canadian newspaper allowed to publish during the war. It moved to Kaslo in November 1942 and added Japanese language content.
