# Growth Desk source note — 2026-08-03 Nikkei heritage learning weekend

## Angle
A respectful Greenwood Nikkei heritage learning weekend: use Greenwood’s role as the first B.C. Japanese Canadian internment site as a partner-led heritage, education and visitor-spending package, not ordinary tourism copy.
