Opinion piece by UVic Law graduate student

UVic law graduate student Preeti Dhaliwal wrote a piece published in the Victoria Times-Colonist on the Prime Minister’s recent apology for Canada’s treatment of those aboard the Komagata Maru. She wrote about the historic importance of that apology; the impact and significance of Canada’s decisions at the time of the Komagata Maru event; and the relative emphasis in the press of this apology and the underlying event, as compared with other apologies the Prime Minister delivered the same week and the events giving rise to them.

Read Preeti’s piece, and read more in UVic Libraries’ holdings about the Komagata Maru incident.
