Momiji Auditorium
(Lunch will be served at noon, followed by a presentation and some entertainment).
Are you noticing that the days are getting longer? As March nears, the festive spring season is also coming around the corner. March in Japan, “Momo-no-Sekku” (Girls’ Day) is celebrated. Originally, it was observed by families with young daughters wishing their happiness and good health. Here at Momiji, we will celebrate “Momo-no-Sekku” as the arrival of spring, hoping for good health and happiness to all children along with our Momiji tenants, their families and friends from the community.
There will be a festive lunch, special entertainment guests, door prizes and much more! Everyone is welcome! Don’t miss this fun-filled special event!
Purchase a lunch ticket ($15.00) from Shivonne by Fri. March 13!
Japanese Canadian Legacy Monument
Update and Information Sessions
The Japanese Canadian Legacy Monument Database team led by University of Victoria’s Michael Abe is developing the list of names of Japanese Canadians living in coastal BC prior to the forced uprooting to be preserved on a legacy monument in Victoria, BC.
We invite JC members to look at the working site that contains a working list of the names of people forcibly uprooted from coastal BC to outside the 100 mile “protected” zone.
Please join us for an information session and demonstration of the working site and case file records. Learn more about the project and find out how you can check your family names and place of origin and submit corrections and additions.
