Starting Cultural Classes

For over forty years, the cultural arts program at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre has introduced traditional Japanese arts to the Canadian community at large.

Led by many dedicated and talented volunteer instructors, the JCCC cultural arts program has endeavored to cultivate an appreciation for Japanese arts and develop the skills necessary to enjoy participation.
