JSA-KC: History

Go to the main page

The University of Manitoba Japanese Student Association was established after an initial meeting organized by Masami in early 2000 (around the end of the 1999-2000 regular session), and attended by a number of people, including those who would later lead the club as its first executives. During that summer we had one event.

During the following regular session (2000-2001) the club was led by Masami, and by the other executives (Rod, Michiko, and Chris), and they were assisted by numerous volunteers. Besides our weekly lunch gatherings, we had a number of successful events, such as our movie nights, joint events and our sushi parties! To wrap up the year we had a year-end bar-bq in King's Park which was extremely well attended.

So far this year (2001-2002), we have 2 weekly lunch meetings (gatherings), in addition to our participation in student recruitment days, a movie night, and our very successful sushi party (which was also a joint event).
