TJCS Corporate Member Doorknocks

Site Admin • September 26, 2017

We would like to take this opportunity to again express our appreciation to all Corporate and Small Business Members of the TJCS, for their continued support of the Tokai Japan Canada Society.

Throughout the month of August, our Directors and Senior Leadership traveled to a number of locations in Aichi to visit our Corporate members. The contingent included:

  • James Hedden, TJCS President
  • Koji Idei, TJCS Vice President
  • Bruce McCaughan, TJCS Vice President
  • Chénier La Salle, TJCS Honourary Vice-Chairman; and Senior Trade Commissioner at the Canadian Consulate in Nagoya

Each meeting provided the opportunity to share an update of current and future activities in the TJCS, as well as much needed time for introductions, connections, and notes of appreciation.

It was a pleasure to see many of our long-time, as well as new members and we very much appreciate the hospitality we received during our visits.

The remaining half of (fiscal) 2017 looks to be a great year in terms of future events and activities.

Also, we look forward to further growth and opportunity in 2018, and again appreciate the continued support of all TJCS volunteers and members.

Corporate and SME Members can be viewed in our TJCS Member Listings.

Below are a few photos from our visits.
