Donate for Community
Donate to HONOR the persons and families who came before us – they left their homes in Japan with hopes and dreams of a better future. They set up communities and began to become part of the fabric of Canada. They worked hard, overcoming many difficulties and challenges. In donating we recognize their resilience and determination and ensure their stories will never be lost.
Donate to preserve Japanese culture for future generations by helping them to understand and sustain Japanese customs and Japanese/Canadian history. Our children and grand children need a place they can be proud to be part of – a place where they can gather to continue their own stories and determine how the changes over the upcoming years will be told.
Donate for the development of a centre that will reflect Japanese heritage and the contributions that our community makes to enhance diversity in Calgary and Canada. People can gather to enjoy each others’ company, develop and maintain positive connections and engage in activities to enrich their lives. Within that context, all can gain a better understanding of our past and come together to establish the path forward to sustain and celebrate the future.
Legacy Project Fund-Raising
The Legacy project is not to build a static structure but to provide an environment which, in itself, reflects the thoughts and values of the Japanese culture and provides a space where the Japanese community in Calgary can thrive and grow for generations to come.
