The Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011. The reconstruction of Yuriage, Natori City, Miyagi Prefecture, was supported by warm assistance from Canada. The "Maple Hall," built with that support, remains a symbol of friendship between Japan and Canada.
This time, we'd like to introduce the "Little Canada" project, undertaken by Professor Nagano's seminar at Ritsumeikan University. Their goal is to transform Maple Hall into a hub for cultural exchange where people from Japan and Canada can meet and share their cultures.
We are currently running a crowdfunding campaign to take the first step towards planning and establishing a system for receiving tourists!
Towards the 100th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Japan and Canada in 2028, and into the future beyond, please support this challenge to connect the bonds of gratitude and friendship born from the earthquake disaster to the next 100 years!
