Upcoming Event – JCCC Oshogatsu Kai

Join JETAA Toronto at our first family-friendly event of 2017. We’ll be attending the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre’s annual New Year’s celebration, the Oshogatsu Kai. There’ll be vendors, New Year’s food, and performances, including a mochi-making exhibition. Details can be found at: http://jccc.on.ca/event/oshogatsu-kai-3/

JET alumni and their family have been given the “JCCC Member” rate of $5 per person, so make sure you tell the entrance staff that you’re with JETAA. Once you’re in, call 647-991-4686 to meet up with the rest of the JETAA people and get reimbursed an additional $3. There’s plenty for both kids and adults to do, so come on out whether you’ve got little ones or not. Akemashite Omedetou Gozaimasu!
