Are you involved in EJCA programs or attend EJCA events? Do you have ideas for the association? Do you want to have a say in how the EJCA is run? We are looking for board nominations!

It is very important for us to have a variety of perspectives on the board: Japanese Canadians (Nikkei), those who immigrated from Japan, family members, club representatives, youth and young adults, cultural program instructors and participants, parents of children involved in EJCA programs, etc.

This is a great opportunity to get involved if you have ideas for events and programs that you think would be of interest to members.

Please see the moshi-moshi for more details and how to apply!

EJCA is organizing an online bazaar, whereby members will be able to shop online for items between November 6h and 12th. Later, all items will be available for pick-up at the EJCA centre on December 3rd.

This is a members-for-members activity, we rely on EJCA members to provide/prepare items for sale, and only members will be able to purchase these items.

We are still looking for typical bazaar items that are of interest to our EJCA members, including any items that clubs or affiliated groups would like to sell.

Please see the moshi-moshi for more details and use this form here (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScmQjmX8B9FbvueOz_OXmaEnW73lKMxtMLt1p9xK5KqOsomog/viewform) to submit your ideas by Oct 15th, 2022!

Please note that EJCA is now accepting applications for a Community Communicator part-time job. All details can be found here:

Congratulations to all the participants (for being so creative) and to the winners (for standing out amidst many great and original poems) of our Haiku contest - see all details here: Spring Haiku Competition

What is going on elsewhere? For the benefit of our membership and visitors to our website, we are introducing a separate calendar page that shows selected events not organized by EJCA but by partner organizations. Please follow the link.

Following announcements from the Province of Alberta and the City of Edmonton, the EJCA has updated our policies pertaining to proof of vaccination and masking at the EJCA Centre.

EJCA会館でのマスク使用とワクチン接種証明について (2022年2月更新)

アルバータ州とエドモントン市の発表に従って、EJCAは会館でのマスクの使用と予防接種証明に関する方針を更新しました。

The EJCA is currently in the process of reviewing the recent changes to provincial public health orders, including the proof of vaccination program, as well as other applicable municipal bylaws that apply. We will provide an update as soon as possible, but in the interim wish to remind everyone that the City of Edmonton masking bylaw remains in effect at the EJCA Centre.

EJCAは、アルバータ州が８日に発表した公共衛生法変更について詳細を検討しています。これには予防接種の証明に関することや市の規則などが含まれます。EJCAはどのように対応するかをできるだけ早くお知らせします。それまで、エドモントン市のマスク着用についての規則には従ってください。

In the interest of maintaining as much of our regular programming as possible, the EJCA will be participating in the Restriction Exemption Program outlined in provincial health orders. This will remain in place until further notice.

Effective September 20th, access to the EJCA Centre for all users age 12 and over will be restricted to those who can provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination status. See COVID-19 Measures

この期間、エドモントン日本文化協会は出来るだけ通常の活動を維持できるように、州の新しい行動規制に従います。これは将来変更されるまで有効です。

９月２０日から、１２歳以上のEJCA会館利用者はCOVID-19予防接種の証明書を持っている人に限られます。

The Centre Reopening Celebration scheduled for September 11th has been cancelled

In the July-August Moshi Moshi, we announced this event but have decided to postpone it until further notice. The COVID-19 situation in Alberta is not improving and the Board does not want to compromise anyone's health.

It is disappointing but we feel it is better to keep everyone safe until the situation improves and stabilizes.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please remove this date from your calendar.

9月11日に予定したセンター再オープン記念行事は延期になりました。

7・8月号の会報もしもしでお知らせした行事は、条件が整うまで延期になりました。近日はコロナの状況がよくないので、皆様の健康を守るために、延期を決定をしました。

皆様にお目にかかれることを楽しみにしていたのでとても残念ですが、安心して集まれるようになったら、改めて計画し、お知らせいたします。

カレンダーに予定していただいていましたら、すみませんが、キャンセルにしてください。

We are pleased to announce the introduction of a new club to the EJCA as of Summer 2021. The Edmonton Iaido Club (edmontoniaido.ca) will be adding another martial art to the EJCA community.

More information is available from the club page: Iaido Club
