A murky chapter in Canada’s racist immigration policies was written during the summer of 1914, when a two-month stand-off took place on the country's west coast.
Ship Chartered to Test Canada’s Exclusion of Asians
In May 1914, a group of 376 passengers - 340 Sikhs, 12 Hindus, and 24 Muslims, organized a test of Canada’s policy of trying to keep non-whites from immigrating to the country.
As documented by The Canadian Encyclopedia, “At the time, East Indians were kept out of Canada by an order-in-council requiring them to come to Canada by continuous passage from India, when no steamship line provided the service.”
