I have been looking for the personal case file for Noboru Uyeyama, who was a Japanese Canadian born in Nanaimo, B.C. on March 20, 1916. I have his death certificate. He died on December 17, 1975 in Nanaimo. At first, I did a Access to Information Request in relation to the Office of the Custodian of Enemy Property. However, there was only a one page letter in the file. I know that he was interned in the POW camp in Angler, Ontario, and that he was released and was sent to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan after the war. There must have been a file when he was in Angler. Therefore, I am specifically requesting access to any RCMP files about him. Hopefully, the RCMP files were not destroyed. I understand that some were kept and some were not. I also know that Noburo and his family went to Japan in 1946, and that he did not return to Canada until the late 1950s.Organization: Library and Archives Canada

RE: Access to Information Act Request, Report of the Superintendent Penitentiaries, 1932 I write to make an Access to Information Act request regarding the following documents held by Library and Archives Canada: TITLE/DESCRIPTION: REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF ; PENITENTIARIES ON THE KINGSTON ; PENITENTIARY DISTURBANCES 1932 REPORTS BY DM ORMOND, SUPERINTENDENT OF PENITENTIARIES OF DEC. 6, 1932 (72 PAGES) & JAN. 23, 1933 (39 PAGES) TO THE MINISTER OF JUSTICE ON THE HISTORY OF DISTURBANCES AT THE KINGSTON PENITENTIARY AND RESULTS OF AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE RIOT OF OCT. 13, 1932. COPY OF THE PUBLISHED REPORT OF ORMOND IN 1933. TRANSCRIPT (16 PAGES) OF AN INTERVIEW HELD BY MEMBERS OF THE CANADA LABOUR DEFENCE LEAGUE WITH THE MINISTER OF JUSTICE ON OCT. 26, 1932 AT HIS OFFICE. Reference Number: RG13 2000-01038-5 Access Code: 32 - Restricted by Law I am requesting that this document be reviewed and released. Beyond the usual considerations, I wish to provide you with some information showing that these documents were public at the time they were created and should not be so treated as private now. The first two documents, reports by the Superintendent of Penitentiaries to the Minister of Justice, were available to the public and discussed in the media. For example, see statements made by Minister of Justice Hugh Guthrie in open Parliament on 6 February 1933 where he ordered 750 copies of the report to be produced for distribution, and discussion of these reports in open Parliament in the weeks that followed. Reporters who had reviewed the document in full also discussed the content of the report in the newspapers of the day. See, for example, "Slur on Private Soldier Seen in Prison Report," The Globe, 16 February 1933. The title/description of the document also notes that Ormond's report was published. The transcript of the Canadian Labour Defence League visit to Guthrie also should not be restricted. Guthrie had a government stenographer attend the meeting and invited reporters into the room during the meeting. See, for example, "Communists Well but Won't Allow them to be Seen," Toronto Daily Star, 26 October 1932, and E. Cecil-Smith, "Guthrie on Kingston Penitentiary," The Canadian Labor Defender (November 1932).Organization: Library and Archives Canada

I am submitting an ATIP request for the Canadian Industries Limited (CIL) records that are currently listed under Ban No. 2017-00316-6. The Ban No. 2017-00316-6 states that LAC has 95.5m of materials from CIL. It is unclear if this is in addition to or part of the 34.38m that are currently available through the Canadian Industries Limited fonds (R15655-0-3-E). I have been looking through R15655-0-3-E and have found that it is based primarily on the 1950s to 2000s time periods. This is odd, considering how busy CIL and its subsidiary Defence Industries Limited were during the Second World War. This record group should have more sources from the 1940s - especially about specific sites. I want to know what information is in Ban No. 2017-00316-6, especially the information that relates to: - the 1940s, Second World War munitions procurement - Defence Industries Limited - the environment, contamination - worker safety, health hazards - decontamination, environmental remediation - Any files and records about the Pickering Plant - Any files and records about the Nobel Plant - Any files and records about the de Salaberry Plant - Any files and records about the Transcona Plant - Any files and records about the Cherrier Plant - Any files and records about the Bouchard Plant Thank YouOrganization: Library and Archives Canada
