Upcoming Events

On Friday 22 February, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Japan will host its annual formal Maple Leaf Gala in the presence of His Excellency, Ambassador of Canada to Japan Mackenzie Clugston.  

One of the most important events of the year in our Canada-Japan Community, the Maple Leaf Gala will highlight some of the accomplishments of the Canada-Japan business community while looking towards goals for 2013.

Dear CCCJ Members,

You are invited to an important Town Hall meeting, to discuss recommendations for revisions to our Chamber’s Constitution.

Our Constitution was written in 1981 and is dated, in some places no longer reflecting the nature and goals of our organization. Our Constitutional Reform Committee, including legal experts, has spent the past year and a half modernizing it to better reflect our organization's needs – with a focus on democracy and transparency. The end goal is to allow us to best pursue our mandate of strengthening the ties between Canada and Japan.

The CCCJ will be holding its Shinnenkai ringing in 2013; the year of the snake on January 21st, 2013 at the Roppongi Hills Club. Joining us in welcoming in 2013 will be our new Canadian Ambassador to Japan, H.E. Mackenzie Clugston.

We welcome you to join Ambassador Clugston, CCCJ Members and guests for an enjoyable evening of social networking over a fine spread of food & drink with all in the presence of great company.

Mark your calendars, contact your guests and register early for what promises to be another enjoyable night with the Canada-Japan business community!

This month's CCCJ combined Board & Committee Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, January 9th from 18:00 to 19:00 at TMI Associates. 

As a Member-driven organization, these monthly meetings represent important opportunities for Members of the Board and the various committees to gather and discuss the pressing matters of business of the Chamber.

Members who are interested in learning more about becoming involved in Committee activities are welcome to participate as well.
