  Over 100 years ago, Anne Sadelain's father was unjustly imprisoned at a camp in B.C.'s Monashee Mountains. Today, CHASI Faculty Associate Dr. Sarah Beaulieu and the Canadian First World War Internment Recognition Fund are uncovering the history Canada tried to bury.
  
  November 25, 2021 marks 16 years since Bill C-331, the Internment of Persons of Ukrainian Origin Recognition Act, passed in parliament. With it, Canada acknowledged that persons of Ukrainian origin were interned in Canada during World War I, which lead to the creation of the Canadian First World War Internment Recognition Fund for educational and commemorative projects.
