Now, therefore, pursuant to the authority conferred on the Commission, It is ordered: 1) that every person of the Japanese race evacuted by the British Columbia Security Commission from any protected area in British Columbia, or who is ordinarily resident within any such protected area and who left such area after February 5th, 1942, shall remain in the city, village, town or locality in which any such person was placed or is residing, whether temporarily or otherwise, and shall not travel nor move from any such city, village, town or locality in which any such person was placed or is residing, without a written permit from the British Columbia Security Commission, or from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police or the British Columbia Police duly authorized to issue any such permit. 2) This Order shall apply to all persons of the Japanese race and anyone failing to comply with its provisions will be liable to the penalities provided under P.C. 1665 for the breach of an Order of the British Columbia Security Commission. Dated at Vancouver, British Columbia, this 25th day of August, A.D. 1942. British Columbia Security Commission “Austin C. Taylor” Chairman

Order #36 – restricted movement, removal of Japanese Canadians

Page 1 of 2 letter draft from Royal Canadian Mounted Police. To is blank as is Date. Other text reads: Order No. 36 issued by the British Columbia Security Commission reads as follows: That every person of the Japenses race evacuated by the British Columbia Security Commission from any protected area in British Columbia, or who is ordinarily resident within any such protected area and who left such area after February 5th, 1942, shall remain in the icty, town or locality in which any such person was placed or is residing, whether temporarily or otherwise. And shall not travel nor move from any such city, village, town or locality in which any such person was placed or is residing, without a written permit. Up to the present time the authority to grant such permits rested with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the British Columbia Security Commission, and the British Columbia Police. In consequence of the failure of people of the Japanese race to obtain such permits before moving, it has been found necessary to limit the authority to grant permits to move, to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police only. It is, therefore, to be clearly understood that – in future no person of the Japanese race coming within the meaning of order no. 36, and located in the province of Manitoba or in Ontario, west of White River, will be permitted to move without first having obtained a permit signed by an officer of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police stationed in Winnipeg. Application for such a permit can be made verbally to the nearest Royal Canadian Mounted Police Detachment, which in turn will forward the application to Winnipeg, or it can be made in writing to the British Columbia Security Commission or the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Winnipeg unless he has first received a permit to proceed to Winnipeg. It is pointed out that permits to move will be limited (except in very exceptional cases) to the following circumstances: 1. In cases of illness neccessitating special medical or dental treatment. 2. In cases where the death of a member of the immediate family requires their presence to attend the funeral, etc. (over)
