It stands as a cultural and historical reminder of the expropriation of property that all Canadians of Japanese descent experienced after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941. Between 2003 and 2006, a grassroots committee fundraised in a well-publicized national campaign and, with the help of The Land Conservancy of BC, a non-profit land trust, managed to purchase the house in 2006.<\/span><\/p> Together with Joy Kogawa, the various groups decided that the wisest and best use of the property would be to establish it as a place where writers could live and work. Following the models of the writer-in-residence programs in place at the Berton House in Dawson City, Yukon, and Roderick Haig-Brown House in Campbell River, BC, among other writer-in-residence programs housed in the former homes of celebrated Canadian authors, the Historic Joy Kogawa House writer-in-residence program would bring well-regarded professional writers in touch with a local community of writers, readers, editors, publishers, booksellers, and librarians. While in residence, the writer would work to enrich the literary community around him or her and foster an appreciation for Canadian writing through programs that involve students, other established and emerging writers, and members of the general public.<\/span><\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kogawahouse.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/874"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kogawahouse.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kogawahouse.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kogawahouse.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kogawahouse.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=874"}],"version-history":[{"count":59,"href":"https:\/\/www.kogawahouse.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/874\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17680,"href":"https:\/\/www.kogawahouse.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/874\/revisions\/17680"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kogawahouse.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=874"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
