Hanami In High Park A Success!

 P5070323

The breathtaking cherry blossoms and beautiful weather were in perfect harmony for JETAA Toronto’s 5th Annual Hanami Picnic in High Park on Saturday, May 7th. Thanks to the support of members from U of T’s JCSA and JAVA, there were over 150 people in attendance throughout the day.

Our group arrived early enough to lay down the large blue tarps and claim our territory in what was undoubtedly one of the best spots in High Park for prime cherry blossom viewing. Beneath the picturesque flowers, everyone enjoyed a potluck-style meal, which featured an array of food, drinks and popular Japanese snacks.

To : JETAA Toronto(JET Programme Toronto Alumni Association)

April 20,2011

More than one month has passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake has hit the nation. I extend my heartfelt sympathy to all the people who have suffered as a result of this disaster, both Japanese nationals and non-Japanese including JET Programme participants, and their families.

I understand that JETAA chapters across Canada are working for the earthquake relief efforts in Japan by means of a series events including the very successful JETAA Toronto JAPAN BENEFIT PARTY which was held on April 1. I extend my heartfelt thanks for such assistance from your organization. I am grateful for the fact that many JET alumni have prayed for Japan and extended support to us. I am deeply impressed by the warm encouragement.

2011/12 Executive Committee

At our AGM/Shinnenkai in January we voted in a brand new JETAA Toronto Executive for 2011/2012.  All positions will officially start in April, and we are currently working hard on making it a smooth transition.

Several of the past year’s Executive members have had some exciting life changes this past year, from marriage to babies to moves overseas, so we have a lot of new faces this year in addition to a few returning veterans.

JETAA Toronto would like to acknowledge all of the effort and energy that the 2010/11 Executive put into the past year. It’s only through your hard work that we have been able to accomplish what we have.
