As a group we get together at least once a month to play golf. We play seven different course and 6 different team formats. We play for token money prizes but it's mainly for the golf and comradery that everyone comes out to play.
Founded in 1963, the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre (JCCC) is one of the largest and most vibrant Japanese cultural centres in the world. Our mandate is to promote Japanese culture and Japanese Canadian heritage. The JCCC offers a broad spectrum of Japanese traditional and contemporary cultural programs, martial arts, festivals, performances, film screenings, art exhibitions and other experiences for its thousands of members and hundreds of thousands of annual visitors. The JCCC's heritage programming recognizes the sacrifices and accomplishments of the Japanese Canadian community and contributes to the evolving Nikkei experience in Canada. The lessons of cultural acceptance implicit in the story of the Japanese Canadian community are as relevant today as ever. The JCCC is a registered charitable, not-for-profit organization.
National Association of Japanese Canadian
The National Association of Japanese Canadians is a non-profit incorporated community organization in Canada that represents the Japanese Canadian community. Formed in 1947, the NAJC focuses on human rights and community development. The NAJC successfully negotiated the historic Redress Settlement on behalf of all Japanese Canadians who suffered injustices at the hands of their own government during and after World War II when they were dispossessed, forcibly relocated and interned. On September 22, 1988, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and NAJC President Art Miki signed the redress agreement acknowledging the wrongs committed against Japanese Canadians.
