Nostalgia Night– Honouring Karaoke Clubs
Nostalgia Night 2019 honours the
Karaoke Clubs who have been
supporting the Japanese Canadian
community’s cultural and social
development and well-being overmany years. Some of these clubs havebeen active for decades and all haveprovided the opportunity for people tocome together to enjoy singing and the comradery of its members.
Nostalgia Night is a wonderful event that gives us theopportunity to honour these selected organizations/clubs, learn
more about them, meet up with friends and family, and dine on
delicious Japanese Canadian food.
Research touts the benefit of music and engaging in singing.
Participating in Karaoke can give you a workout! You can improveyour breathing and strengthen your diaphragm, improve yourposture, immune system, and even your sleep! It’s also a naturalstress reliever and can even help with dementia as it triggers
memories in the brain. We know from our own experience that it
can help widen your circle of friends thus improving your social life
and of course, it certainly can boost your own confidence the more
you sing.
So, with that in mind, we have asked the clubs being honoured
to lead us in some Karaoke singing at the end of the formal
proceedings. This added treat should have everyone leaving witha smile on their face!
Oh, and one more addition to this year’s Nostalgia Night,
the “Kimono Fun” group will be onsite in the Hosaki Room from12:00pm-3:00pm to assist anyone who wishes to bring theirown kimono or yukata and get dressed for the occasion. If you

Celebrating Asian Heritage MonthAt the Heritage centre, we strive to promote Japanese Canadian
heritage everyday but the month of May is especially significant
because it is the month dedicated to celebrating Asian Heritage.
This month, keep a lookout on our social media platforms as we
will be posting exciting content in collaboration with the Canadian
Heritage Organization. We will be using the official hash tag#ahmCanada2019 in English and #mpaCanada2019 in French.
We encourage everyone who has access to social media
platforms to use the hash tag and tag us as well so we canengage in a meaningful way (we would love to know how you arecelebrating)! To start the conversation, here is a photograph of
the incredibly delicious Cumberland Chow Mein from the JCCC
bestselling Just Add Shoyu cookbook (available for purchase in the
JCCC Gift Shop). Last but not least, from the Heritage staff, wewish you a very heart-warming Asian Heritage Month!

When I graduated from university with a
Bachelor of Arts in History and Medieval
Studies, I knew I wanted to take a year
off to gain some experience in the cultural
heritage field before moving onto my
Masters. The only question was: whereshould I start?
Through Constantin
Dutescu, I got in touch with Theressa
Takasaki, the Archives and Collections
Manager of the Heritage department.
After chatting to Theressa, I decided to begin volunteering every
Monday and I was soon assigned to help with the creation of this past
winter’s photo exhibition, Telling Our Stories.
My primary role was to comb through the Centre’s extensive
database and pull photos from the archives that would match thetheme of the exhibition: Japanese-Canadian lives before, during andafter the wartime period. Though the history presented at the JCCC
is very different from my Elizabethan England area of focus – I foundmyself becoming engrossed in the stories behind the photographs
I was amassing. Each photo I pulled from the archive or received
from a donor was a snapshot into someone’s life and a memory I
was privileged to be witnessing. Though my knowledge of Japanese
Canadian history is rudimentary, I learned a lot from the stories
of volunteers at the Centre as well as my colleagues who patiently
answered any questions I had. Putting the physical exhibition together
was incredibly exciting. It felt so rewarding to see a tangible result tothe hard work we all put in. Seeing the delight on the visitor’s faces as
they recognized places - and sometimes even people - in the photos
was inspiring and it hammered home why I wanted to work in thisfield in the first place. I want to bring history to life, to allow people
to look into the past and recognize themselves and to allow them toconnect to the overall human story. History, in my opinion, should not
be confined to dusty library volumes and dull high school classes; it
can be lived and breathed as long as someone wants to tell a story.
Alongside gaining invaluable work experience by being at theCentre I was also lucky enough to get to know the wonderful variety ofpeople who work and volunteer here and fill the Centre with life. The
people who work at the JCCC have created a welcoming communitythat I look forward to interacting with every Monday. Their stories haveinspired me, and the warm environment is what keeps me comingback every week.
