In 2025, the City celebrated 60 years of friendship with its sister city, Kushiro, Japan. On July 13, Nikkei Place was honoured to welcome the visiting delegation alongside members of Burnaby City Council. His Worship Hidenori Tsuruma, Mayor of Kushiro, and His Worship Daniel Tetrault, Acting Mayor of Burnaby, unveiled Kushiro Lane—a beautiful pathway and garden located between the Robert Nimi Nikkei Home and the City’s Alan Emmott Centre, aptly described as a “tranquil treasure.” Colourful street banners commemorating this milestone anniversary were erected along Southoaks Crescent, providing a scenic backdrop for the ceremony. Notably, these banners were designed by Danielle Jette, NNMCC’s talented Design and Exhibit Coordinator.  \nComplementing Kushiro Lane, the Sakura-Momiji Project was funded by a generous gift from Ken Shinozaki. His vision was realized with support from Keiko Funahashi (Executive Director, Nikkei Place Foundation), Henry Wakabayashi, Nick Sueyoshi, and the Vancouver Japanese Gardeners Association.  \nAt the invitation of the City of Burnaby, we (Herb and Karah) joined a Burnaby delegation to Kushiro last September. Led by Councillor Pietro Calendino, the visit built meaningful connections between Nikkei Centre and Kushiro institutions, while strengthening our ties with Tourism Burnaby and the Burnaby Board of Trade. Afterward, Karah was joined by Sherri Kajiwara in Tokyo for the 65th Annual Convention of Nikkei & Japanese Abroad. There, they promoted the NNMCC and our travelling exhibition, Broken Promises, which was hosted at JICA’s Japanese Overseas Migration Museum in Yokohama from August to December 2025, solidifying our role within the global Nikkei diaspora.  \nOn September 22, 2025, we marked the Centre’s 25th anniversary. Reaching this silver milestone is a testament to our generous community, dedicated past and present staff, and enthusiastic volunteers. However, the passage of time has also taken a toll on our infrastructure. Thanks to past fundraising by our late director and secretary, Ian Miki, a legacy gift from Gordon Kadota, and a grant from the Japanese Canadian Legacies Society, we replaced the Centre’s roof and HVAC system this past fiscal year. Special thanks go to Henry Wakabayashi, and NNMCC’sad hoc Building Committee (Art Kanzaki, Kevin Isomura, and Frank Kamiya) for ensuring this vital project was completed on time and on budget.  \nThis past year, our Heritage Hub Project—funded by the Japanese Canadian Legacies Society’s Heritage Pillar—moved from assessment and research into implementation under the leadership of Ryan Yada (Principal Progressor, RYŌSHIN Solutions).
