2026 has been an eventful and fulfilling year at Nikkei Place. As we head into the holiday season, we wanted to revisit some of the year’s highlights. As well, look ahead with us to the new year and the exciting things that are still to come in 2027.

A Year in Review
Chashitsu Japanese Tea Room
Through the Matsuri 50/50 we were able to raise a record-breaking $16,330 to support the building of the Chashitsu Japanese Tea Room at Nikkei Centre. A donor plaque is planned to honour those who give generously to the Tea Room, and will be displayed outside the completed Tea Room. Now is the best chance to donate and have your charitable tax receipts processed for 2026—for donations over $500 received by the end of the year, you’ll have the special opportunity to add your name to the donor plaque, and be recognized for perpetuity as a part of this unique legacy of living culture.
