Japanese Canadian Heritage

The Moriyama Nikkei Heritage Centre (MNHC) and the JCCC Art Gallery are spaces at the JCCC dedicated to telling the stories of the Nikkei community, from the past and present, through multi-disciplinary exhibitions and programs. While the MNHC focuses on the historical context of the Japanese diaspora and the JCCC Art Gallery promotes excellence in contemporary art and design, visitors will find intersectionality in both spaces to recognize the accomplishment of the Nikkei community.
