Prince Edward Island is aggressively pursuing new opportunities to strengthen trade and tourism in international markets. The Japanese market offers great potential to increase exports of food products, such as soybeans and seafood, and is an important contributor to the tourism industry. Prince Edward Island has attracted more than 12,000 Japanese visitors annually, and the province is well known in Japan.

Join the Premier of Prince Edward Island, The Honourable Robert W.J. Ghiz, for an exciting luncheon at the Canadian Embassy of Japan on February 7th, 2014.

To celebrate the start of the year of the Horse, the CCCJ will be holding our annual Shinnenkai at Whistler Café on January 28th, 2014. Whistler Café is a Canadian style bar with a variety of Canadian food such as chicken wings and poutines! Please come out and join us for a drink and some networking.

The CCCJ will have a section of the bar reserved for our private use. Registration is unnecessary and attendees are responsible for a pay-as-you-go system.

Minister Mr. Jean-François Lisée will lead a trade mission to Japan from January 19 to 23, 2014.
