Annex At The JC Community Picnic

TORONTO. — While a hard, bright sun beamed over Petti-‘
coat Creek, on Sunday, July 2nd, Japanese Canadians relaxed
with f amily 'and friends at the JJC. Community. Picnic. The large ,
crowd got what they expected: good weather, lots of good food,
Bingo at the pavilion, games, some odori, and plenty of sunburns.
What some of the crowd didn’t expect was the appearance of a
large red and white banner plaiited in the grassy field announcing the word, ANNEX.
■For some Japanese Canadians — this includes, Issei, Nisei,
Sansei, and newly arrived Japanese — the. ANNEX was something new. So while it was encouraging, and profitable, to see the
ANNEX t-shirts and the “tofu,” “onigiri,” arid “udon” t-shirts
selling so well, the chance to meet new people at the Community
Picnic was really what the ANNEX wants to do.
(Since January, 1978, the ANNEX has been operating a drop'
in and information centre at 14.68 Danforth Ave. in Toronto. The
July 2nd picnic was the first chance to take the ANNEX out
of its own headquarters and into the community. With its t-shirts,
books, magazines, and delicious-smelling barbequed ’ squid also

TORONTO. — The Disco-pub Nights at the Japanese Canadian
Cultural Centre have been running for over one year now!
,
Originally initiated and organized by Martin Kobayakawa to
publicize the immensely successful Japanese Canadian Centennial
Youth Conference, the monthly event has grown in popularity and
format.
After the conference a Disco-pub committee, a sub-committee
of the Cultural Centre’s Young Adults Group, took on the respon­
sibility of continuing the dances.
lit was felt, necessary to provide a meeting place for Sansei,
free of obligation and pressure. The Disco-pub nights have also
provided Sansei groups like Yancha News arid J.C. Ski (who used
the night to run the first Toronto Sansei coffee house) with the
initial funds to start their activities.
In order to offer such a sanctuary the operation had to be
professional or at the very least smooth. Under the auspices of
Alan Hotta the music has ibeen of the highest quality; the Pub
nights have been three to four weeks ahead of the /Toronto
charts. All in all from setting up to cleaning up the West Room
discos have demonstrated a fluidity unparalleled;
