Italian Internment Camps Where is their Monument?

The Italian-Canadian internment camps and Italophobia were a very important but often forgotten piece of history. This changed the lives of thousands of people, and affected how we see the world today. Recognizing these faults can help Canada move forward, as well as stopping the obvious repetition of history that is currently happening today. The Canadian-Italian internment camps from WWII as well is Italophobia both deserve to have their own historical site, as it helps contribute to a diverse and inclusive history of Canada, and does contribute to the erasure of those who were discriminated against. Although there have been monuments made by independent artists or Italian Charities such as the Villa Charity, having a government funded and created monument will show that not only are these people a priority, but Canada as a whole is willing to realise and correct its past mistakes.
