We hope this finds everyone healthy and safe. We very much miss seeing you at the JCCC but we will do everything we can continue providing you with Japanese cultural offerings and Japanese Canadian heritage content. We are working with our great friends and supporters at the Japan Foundation Toronto along with a number of film distributors to bring you an on-line Japanese film program until we can again open our doors to you and meet in person.
We are keeping screening fees low ($4.99) and the admission you pay will help us hold things together until the crisis has passed.
