WWII Experience - Formation of a National Japanese Canadian Organization
In 1947 the National Japanese Canadian Citizens’ Association (NJCCA) was formed and became the voice for Japanese Canadians in the struggle for the franchise. The NJCCA objected to the limited terms of the Bird Commission and assisted individuals with Bird Commission claims. The NJCCA became the National Association of Japanese Canadians (NAJC) in 1980.
