This statue represents a Ukranian immigrant in Canada during WWI. We did not realize that they had concentration camps here at that time.
Members of other countries came to Canada to work in forestry, agriculture and mining.
These men were put out of work during the depression of 1913.
8,569 of these men were put in internment camps because they had no food, were subject to
racial prejudice and the wartime hysteria.
