Beginning on March 16, 1942, Japanese-Canadians along a 160 kilometre north to south on the Pacific Coast were sent to Hastings Park in Vancouver. Any property that couldn't be carried became the property of the federal government.

Black and white historical photograph of a vast, dimly lit indoor hall with tiered rows of metal bunk beds stretching across multiple levels and filling the entire space. The bunks are stacked three or four high, with thin mattresses, pillows, and folded blankets on each. A few people lie sleeping or resting on lower bunks, covered by sheets. Overhead lights hang from the high, arched ceiling, casting soft shadows, and a sign reading "FORBEST" is visible on one wall near a clock. The setting resembles a World War II-era barracks or dormitory, with metal stairs and railings providing access to upper levels.
