東日本大震災後、宮城県名取市閖上（ゆりあげ）はカナダから多大なる支援を受けました。そこで震災後のカナダと閖上とのつながりを大切に繋いでゆきたいという思いを込め、顔の見える形で双方向が交流できるイベント企画致しました。
イベント当日ZOOMを使用しオンラインで両者を繋ぎ、交流会を行おうと考えています。（日本語OKです！）

Dear JCCOC Members,
The Zoom event between Yuriage (Natori City) and Canada entitled “Let’s Connect, Yuriage and Canada（International Exchange between Yuriage and Canada）” is going to be held, JC-COC is going to be supporting (後援) this project.
As a Visiting Scholar of Ritsumeikan University, I (Taro Whitred, JC-COC director) have been working with the university’s research group to promote the connection between the city of Natori in Japan and Canada.
Natori City received a tremendous support from Canada in 2011 after the massive earthquake and tsunami in the region and since then the two regions have been exchanging, but the connection/relation has been fading. I’m working now to reaccelerate the relation so they can benefit from each other.
This particular Zoom event is done in a smaller scale that creates an opportunity for the people in Yuriage (Natori) to communicate with the people in Canada who supported them in 2011 in one way or another.
The event will reaffirm the progress of Yuriage’s restoration to date, and to give momentum to the future development of the relationship between Canada and Natori City.
◇Date &Time：Feb.25（Sat）14：00～15：15PM（PST）
*Registration is required to receive the Zoom link
