I don’t make New Year’s resolutions. February is usually when people’s interest starts to wane and that impossible regime of a restrictive diet or drill sergeant workout cannot be maintained.

President Lorene Oikawa’s Message – November 2017
It seems like winter is approaching fast with grey days and rain, and Christmas items in the stores since September. I’m not ready for Christmas, but I have put the winter tires on my car.

President Lorene Oikawa’s Message – June 2017
Asian Heritage Month events filled up our calendar for May. It was especially significant this year, because it is the 75th anniversary of the internment or as some of us are calling it, the incarceration. Words are powerful, and the government used many euphemisms to soften the harsh reality faced by 22,000 children, women,... Read More
President Lorene Oikawa’s Message – May 2017

President Lorene Oikawa’s Message – April 2017
I come from a line of strong women.

I’m feeling the urge to knit. No, it’s not because of the freakish cold weather we’ve been having.

The National Association of Japanese Canadians (NAJC) and Japanese Canadians join with Japanese Americans and allies who are denouncing the racist acts and rhetoric following the US election.

The results of the presidential election in the USA were shocking to everyone including, I think, the president-elect. The political pundits have been providing their versions of an analysis, but one thing is clear to me, we must stand together and call out the racist attacks and raise our voices against discrimination and hateful...
