The project will host the Nikkei Memory History Centre, including a Memory Capture Booth run by the student research team where visitors can share memories and stories. This is a very special year of celebration that provides an invaluable research opportunity to collect data for the project. The Golden Anniversary of the Nikka Yuko Japanese Garden not only celebrates the establishment of this venerable cultural heritage site, it illuminates a moment at the centre of Nikkei, southern Albertan, Canadian, and trans-Pacific postwar history. Through the cultural and historical awareness that 2017 sparks, the project explores the Nikkei inheritance and how this can shape aspirations for the future. This Centre will be located in the Asian Market on July 14th from 12:00 - 5:00 p.m. and July 15 from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
