Interviewer: Wakayama, Tamio

Description

Initially focusing on immigration reform and coming of age in BC and then Vancouver, this conversation eventually turns to an interesting critique of the focus of the Centennial project on the evacuation. This interview was originally on two cassette tapes. The first one, two hours in total, is clear and is detailed above. The second tape is damaged and is distorted so as to drown out the remainder, 1.5 hours, of the interview.
