The Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre with the support of Japanese Canadian Legacies is pleased to present CONNECTIONS: EXPLORING OUR JAPANESE CANADIAN STORIES

Issei and Nisei Japanese Canadians (JCs) have not always been forthcoming in sharing their family histories with the Sansei, Yonsei, and Gosei members of their families – both in terms of their roots in Japan and their experiences in Canada before, during, and after WWII. This has meant that many younger JCs lack an understanding of their elders, the life-paths of their families and, directly or indirectly, their own identities and sense of self. 

The Connections Conference includes an opening and closing plenary and six interactive sessions designed to help attendees better understand their family histories and the impact of those histories on themselves and their families.

Registration includes a Japanese Lunch and light refreshments. Please note that we are not able to accommodate dietary restrictions, although a variety of food options will be available. Registration is limited to 180 attendees.

Once you have registered, you will be provided with a link to choose your workshop options. There are 6 sessions to choose from.  Each session will be repeated morning and afternoon.  Every effort will be made to secure your first choices. However, they will be assigned on a first-come first-serve basis. For further information, please contact heritage@jccc.on.ca
