This fall, an exhibition at Regina’s MacKenzie Art Gallery aims to bring the work of Kiyoshi Izumi—the earliest known Canadian architect of Japanese descent—into the public eye. Izumi (1921 – 1996) was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, to Japanese immigrant parents. His personal journey from Vancouver to Regina, following the 1942 introduction of Canada’s War Measures Act, was remarkable.
