“Noto Night” @ Nikkei Centre A Fundraiser for those affected by the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake
A group of Metro Vancouver residents is holding a fundraising event to provide aid and support to those affected by the New Year’s Day 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake. This tragic event has left many individuals and communities in need, and the organizers are dedicated to helping them rebuild and recover.
Date: February 17 (Sat), 2024 Time: 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM (Doors open at 6:00 PM) Location: Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre (Nikkei Centre) (6688 Southoaks Cres. Burnaby)
Admission to this event is by donation, and the community is invited to join in a spirit of solidarity. All the money raised will be handed over to the Consulate-General of Japan in Vancouver and will go directly towards the affected communities. In addition, Nikkei Centre has generously cooperated with securing the venue and resources.
“We believe in the power of individuals and the community coming together to make a difference, and this event is an opportunity for Metro Vancouver residents to show their support for the people of Ishikawa Prefecture, particularly the Noto Peninsula,” said Mas Watanabe, one of the event organizers. “Our contribution may be small compared to others, but we hope that our thoughts and prayers from Canada will reach those in the affected areas.”
The event will feature live entertainment by local community groups and an opportunity for attendees to connect with each other. The organizers are looking for groups, companies and individuals as “supporters” to spread the word about the event. All the “supporters” will be acknowledged for their cooperation.
