And we've been—I've been with Park myself 25 years.

they do

yeah they do What he's now proposing is kind of similar to what the Whitecaps were looking at at Hastings Park with a 99-year land lease for the land where the city still owns it, but you have the 99 years, which allows where he would pay in its entirety $100 million to build a permanent stadium on the site, not using public money.

So what this would mean is I believe they're looking at a stadium that would be 10,500 capacity for sporting events, but could be expanded to 17,500 for concerts and other things.

This also includes as part of the deal, about 5,000 hours for community use of the stadium.

A memorial for Japanese Canadians detained during the Second World War has been unveiled at Vancouver's Hastings Park.

It commemorates the more than 8,000 people who were held there while more permanent internment camps were being built in B.C.' 's interior.

Approximately 22,000 people of Japanese descent were uprooted from the B.C. coast under the War Measures Act and forced into camps.

Well, I grew up like many Japanese Canadians, third generation descendants.

not being informed by my parents or grandparents as to what they had experienced in the 1940s.

And it strikes me, particularly on the Hastings Park site, very hard because at the P&E, we used to go there on Labor Day weekend before school started.

It was back to school.

In 1942, more than 22,000 Japanese Canadians were detained in internment camps across B.C. under the War Measures Act.

At least 8,000 were forced into exhibition buildings and stables at Hastings Park.

Now, a new memorial honors those who were wrongfully incarcerated there, although it's still missing a lot of names.

The memorial includes about 6,000 people who were interned on the site.

Some 2,000 names are missing.

Daniel Takawa is the president of the Japanese-Canadian Hastings Park Interpretive Center Society.
