A stretch of road in Abbotsford, British Columbia, will be named Komagata Maru Way in honour of the 376 Indians who travelled from India to Canada, on a Japanese steamship of the same name, in 1914 but were turned away.
According to a report by the Surrey-Now Leader, the Abbotsford City Council recently unanimously decided to rename a section of South Fraser Way, which runs from Ware Street to Fairlane Street, as Komagata Maru Way.
