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!

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. 

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.
