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!
At the end of September, Momiji launched our newly refreshed Membership program. The price of being a Momiji Member is increasing, but the benefits of being a member are increasing too!

All new members can enjoy benefits like coupons for Maru Sun restaurant and Momiji Café, discounts on Momiji Education classes, discounts on select Momiji events, plus an Annual Member’s Day.

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.

One of Momiji’s most popular and longest-standing events returns for another year! At our Community Bazaar, you will find amazing deals on quality second-hand items—everything from clothes to housewares to books. And don’t forget the food—delicious Japanese cuisine and baked goods, all prepared by the community!
Another old favourite returns, but this year a little earlier than usual. The Momiji Yard Sale returns this July! If you can’t make the Bazaar, then the Yard Sale is the next best thing, because anything that didn’t sell in June will be out again in July at an even lower price! Of course all the food will be freshly made, and as delicious as food from Momiji volunteers always is!
As autumn arrives, so too does Japonica Live, and 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. From ikebana and dishware to Japanese dolls and kimono, you are sure to find something truly special at Japonica Live!
Just in time for gift-giving season, our Holiday Market returns for its third year! This November, Momiji will be full of holiday cheer and vendors selling arts & crafts, second-hand goods, delicious treats, and much more.
Come warm up at Momiji and get your holiday shopping done early!
Please join us in welcoming Maru Sun Japanese Restaurant to Momiji! Maru Sun is under the leadership of Chef Tomita, who used to be assistant to Chef Miyamoto of Zero Sun. Like Zero Sun, Maru Sun will operate as a restaurant and will be running a meal plan!
A 15% off coupon to celebrate the opening will be available, good for the entire month of July! Pick one up in Momiji’s lobby, if you don’t already have one. Make sure to drop by for delicious Japanese Fusion cuisine and an amazing dining experience!
