Events

Members of JETAA Toronto have joined much of the world, watching in shock and sadness as the extent of the devastation caused by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan has become evident. Many of us have friends in the hardest hit areas of the country, and some have spent days trying to contact people amid unreliable phone networks and power blackouts.

There are many positive stories emerging, but there is also destruction,fear, loss of life and hundreds of thousands of displaced people. Seeing this happen to a country and people we came to know and love has been hard, especially when most of us are far away.

But we are not helpless! We can lend our support in many ways. That is why on April 1, JETAA Toronto will host a special fundraising event in support of the rescue, relief and rebuilding efforts so needed in Japan.

JETAA Toronto is inviting you to celebrate the beauty of the cherry blossom at its 5th Annual Hanami Picnic in High Park. Come out with your family and friends on Saturday, May 7 and enjoy some fun activities and Hanami snacks. This, like all our currently planned events will be an opportunity for attendees to donate to the Canadian Red Cross’s relief and support efforts in Japan, after the disastrous earthquake of March 11.
