Our parish has had a number of significant events that define who we are today. It starts in 1942 with the Second World War where anyone of Japa

nese descent was forced to relocate to old mining towns, forestry camps and ranches in the interior of British Columbia, for fear of committing sabotage. They were forced to leave their homes, fishing `boats, businesses, church and all their worldly possessions. With the close of the internment camps in 1946, the Japanese people were encouraged to move to the province of Alberta or to other parts in eastern Canada. The other option was to return to Japan, even though many of the people were Canadian citizens and had never been to Japan. In 1949, Japanese people were finally allowed to return to the west coast, while others decided to move to eastern Canada or return to Japan. Unfortunately, those Japanese Canadians returning to the west coast, found that all their possessions left behind during the evacuation were gone along with their church at 430 Cordova Street in Vancouver. The Diocese of New Westminster had sold the church and its furnishings. In 1955 another denomination gave a property located at 849 East 11th Avenue in Vancouver to the Diocese of New Westminster. This property eventually became Holy Cross Japanese Canadian Anglican Church. Then in 1989, the Parish of St. Peter’s Anglican Church arranged with Holy Cross to transfer their property at 4580 Walden Street, along with their existing St.. Peter’s Memorial Garden where it sits today.
