DESCRIPTION:In November 2010\, the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre (JCCC)
  in Toronto\, Ontario\, Canada\, ran the Japanese Canadian Experience Conf
 erence: the War Years\, which attracted individuals from our community and
  beyond who generously shared their stories from the War Years of internme
 nt and forced relocation.&nbsp\;As a result of this Conference\, the Sedai
  Project (www.sedai.ca) at the JCCC was able to collect over 100 stories f
 rom the War Years.&nbsp\;These stories have now been preserved for future 
 generations and are posted on the Sedai website.&nbsp\; \nFollowing that C
 onference\, it was suggested that a subsequent conference be held to colle
 ct stories of the years following the War.&nbsp\;To that end\, we are pres
 enting &ldquo\;The Japanese Canadian Post War Experience Conference &ndash
 \; the &lsquo\;40s\, &lsquo\;50s and &lsquo\;60s: Building a New Future&rd
 quo\; on April 6 and 7\, 2013. We believe that this too is a very importan
 t era.&nbsp\;In addition to the Japanese Canadians who were living in Cana
 da during the war\, we are hoping that Japanese who arrived in Canada foll
 owing the war during the years of the immigration quota and before the lif
 t of the ban (1945-1967) will also participate in this conference and shar
 e their stories.&nbsp\;The stories will relate not only to the geographic 
 journey taken by all Japanese Canadians\, but also what it was like to reb
 uild from having all property and assets seized\, and forced to resettle i
 n Eastern Canada or Japan for those who survived the War in Canada\, and w
 hat it was like to settle in Canada during a time of discrimination and pr
 ejudice\, and build lives and families for those who immigrated to Canada.
 \n\nOur two day Conference features Dr Greg Robinson as our key-note speak
 er\, on location at the beautiful facilities of the Toronto JCCC. The 2010
  Conference sold out with over 400 attendees - we hope that you'll join us
  in sharing and preserving the stories of our community!\n\nFor further in
