The TAIKEN Field Trip offers an immersive educational program that brings Japanese Canadian history and culture to life, exploring key moments from early immigration to the internment era and beyond. Through this partnership more students will participate in enhanced activities supported by the expansion of educational resources, providing an improved field trip experience.
Thank you to Mitsubishi Canada Ltd. for their dedication to education and cultural understanding. Together, we are making Japanese Canadian history more engaging, accessible, and impactful for future generations!
Government Extends Deadline for 2024 Donation Tax Benefits
The federal government has announced an important update for charitable donations made in 2024.
Important Announcement
We extend our heartfelt thanks to those who donated at the end of last year. If you were unable to mail your gift, there's still time to make a difference.
The federal government has announced an important update for charitable donations made in 2024. To support Canadian charities and ensure donors can receive tax benefits for their contributions, the deadline for eligible donations has been extended until February 28, 2025.
This extension comes in response to the recent Canada Post mail strike, which caused delays in the delivery of charitable donations. By extending the deadline, our donors now have more time to ensure their gifts are processed for 2024 tax claims.
If you would like to make a donation to Nikkei Place and take advantage of this opportunity, there are 4 ways to do so:
Donate online to receive a tax receipt instantly: https://www.nikkeiplacefoundation.org/donate
Donate by mail and ensure it is postmarked on or before February 28, 2025
Drop off the donation to Nikkei Centre’s reception during regular business hours
Call 604.777.2122 to give over the phone during office hours
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact gifts@nikkeiplacefoundation.org or 604.777.2122.

New Year’s Greeting from Nikkei Place
Happy New Year!
As we welcome 2025, a year filled with milestones and new beginnings, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported Nikkei Place and our vibrant community.
This year marks an exciting chapter as we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre and undertake significant renovations to both the Nikkei Centre and the Robert Nimi Nikkei Home. These updates will ensure that our spaces continue to serve and inspire future generations. We look forward to sharing updates with you throughout the year.
A special thank-you to everyone who made donations at the end of last year. If you were unable to mail your gift, the Government of Canada has extended the deadline for 2024 donations to February 28, 2025, and we warmly welcome your contributions. Your generosity plays a vital role in helping us create a stronger and brighter future for Nikkei Place.
Let us reaffirm kizuna—the bonds that connect us all—and our dedication to preserving Japanese Canadian heritage, sharing our stories, building cultural bridges, and inspiring generations. None of this would be possible without your unwavering support.
Wishing you and your loved ones health, happiness, and success in 2025!
Warm regards,
Keiko Funahashi
Executive Director, Nikkei Place Foundation
