Background

The Immigration Building, also known as Dominion Immigration House, was located at the corner of Ontario Street and Dallas Road in the James Bay neighbourhood of Victoria, British Columbia. Between 1909 and 1957, thousands of immigrants to Canada were detained and processed in the building, which closed in 1958 and was demolished in 1978. The site, now occupied by townhouses, was given formal heritage recognition in 2016.
