Momiji’s new Strategic Plan sets a clear direction for the next five years, building on Momiji’s strengths and legacy, the mission, the vision and values, while looking to the future through three inter-connected priority areas as outlined here.
Find our complete Strategic Plan on our Publications page.
Spring is here, and so is the next session of Momiji Education! Grow your skills or cultivate your wellbeing with our selection of one-day workshops or weekly classes.
We have several familiar workshop instructors returning to teach, and a new one too! Collage, painting, paper crafts like origami, jewellery making, Japanese language, even baking, all at Momiji this spring.
All our regular weekly classes are returning too, and some are running for 10 weeks this session instead of 8 weeks! A bit of Japanese culture, and plenty of active living to keep you moving.
By attending our Momiji Education courses, you support Momiji’s seniors and our instructors. After the instructors are paid their fees, the rest of the money goes towards Momiji’s programs and services. Do Momiji and yourself a favour, and register today for one (or more) of these amazing courses!
See below for our full course guide, which includes times and dates, plus prices.
See you at Momiji!

Join us at Momiji in 2026 for an amazing year of Fundraising Events! These events help Momiji build community, as well as raise much-needed funds for programming and services.
Some changes to our usual fundraising calendar are coming in 2026. Two of our most popular events are moving to a different time of year—Bazaar in the fall, and Japonica in the spring!
This means we’ll be saying goodbye to a few events too, specifically Yard Sale and Spring Market. With a couple fewer events, staff and volunteers can dedicate more of their time and energy to making the remaining events even better!
Momiji extends a huge thank you to all volunteers, staff, and community members that have contributed to our fundraising efforts in 2025. Each person played a part in supporting Momiji’s vital work of enriching seniors’ lives.
See you at Momiji in 2026!
Momo Anime Market at Momiji – Saturday, March 28th & Sunday, March 29th, 2026
For a whole weekend in March, Momiji will be transformed into a fandom utopia! Vendors and activities will fill the building with fun! Young or old, casual or hardcore fan, all are welcome to come connect with new friends. Buy your ticket online starting in February, or at the door!
Japonica – Saturday, April 25th and Sunday, April 26th, 2026
In 2026, Japonica is moving from the fall to the spring! What isn’t changing is the quality that people have come to expect from Japonica. There is no better event for vintage, second-hand Japanese goods. Many of these pieces were treasured belongings of community members, then generously donated to Momiji to be sold and treasured once more.
Momiji Bowl-a-thon – Saturday, June 20th, 2026
If bowling is more your style, join us at Momiji’s 18th Annual Bowl-a-thon in June! Assemble a bowling team or join as an individual, and help raise money for Momiji through team sponsorships. Even non-bowlers can participate by sponsoring a team! Look out for more information on the 2026 Bowl-a-thon coming soon!
Momiji Community Bazaar – Saturday, October 3rd, 2026
Our oldest fundraising event is changing seasons, but you’ll find the same amazing deals on quality second-hand items at our Community Bazaar! Everything from clothes to housewares to books, carefully sorted by volunteers, and priced very reasonably. And don’t forget the food—delicious Japanese cuisine and baked goods, all prepared by the community!
Momiji Holiday Market – Saturday, November 28th, 2026
Just in time for gift-giving season, our Holiday Market returns for its fourth year! This November, Momiji will be full of holiday cheer and vendors selling all kinds of arts and crafts, plus plenty of delicious treats!

Please see below for a Memo from Momiji’s CEO, Eugene Kam, regarding the upcoming construction project at Momiji. This project will have a large impact on parking at Momiji, and generate noise and dust during the work. Efforts have been made to minimize the disruption to the lives of our residents, staff, volunteers, and guests. For more details, click here: Garage Project Memo.
