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!
Each month, different departments around Momiji prepare information about the upcoming activities and programs! This information is emailed out to our mailing list, but for anyone not on that list, the information will be posted here from now on.

Eugene Kam
CEO, Momiji Health Care Society
At this time of year, Momiji staff are usually busy addressing envelopes to friends and supporters, preparing for the Christmas Mailing Campaign, which includes a Christmas card, a letter from our CEO, Eugene Kam, and a call for much-needed donations from friends and supporters. But due to the Canada Post strike, we’re doing things a little differently this year!
Here’s what you need to know:
We still need your support! Please don’t wait for your card in the mail to donate to Momiji this holiday season. To donate online through CanadaHelps, click the red “Donate Now!” button below. If you are more comfortable donating over the phone, please call Momiji staff at 416-261-6683, ext. 238, 259, or 260.
Tax receipts will be delayed. Momiji typically mails out donors’ tax receipts, which unfortunately will be impacted by the Canada Post strike too. However, if you donate online via CanadaHelps, you will receive your tax receipt right away!
The card and letter from our CEO are available online! While they will still be mailed out once the strike is over, you can view them both by clicking the links below. Please take the time to read Eugene Kam’s first Christmas Campaign Letter as Momiji’s CEO. He reflects upon the successes of 2024, and looks forward at the projects being considered for Momiji’s future, including essential building repairs, electric vehicles, and a potential respite care unit.
Thank you for continuing to support Momiji.
This October, Momiji Health Care Society is relaunching its Education Program!
We’re starting off small, with 6 weekly classes, and 3 one-day workshops. Join us at 3555 Kingston Road (Markham Road & Kingston Road)—we’re so excited to open our doors again to education instructors and students, both new and returning!
Check out our Fall 2024 Course Guide, and get ready to register on Wednesday, October 2nd, starting at 9am!
