Scope and content

Nipponia Home was a seniors home dedicated to Japanese Canadian seniors. The home was the creation of Yasutaro Yamaga, with later help from others of the community. Nipponia Home began in 1958 in Beamsville, O.N. The facility grew, with a expansion to the building in the 90s. The seniors home was closed in 2000. Jack Hemmy attended events at Nipponia Home as a photographer. This included the ground breaking ceremony for the extension, and celebrating operational milestones.

The series is comprised of primarily photographs, though some textual records from events are included.
