Volunteer at Nikkei Centre

Be a part of the excitement at Nikkei Matsuri by volunteering

Volunteers receive training, a Matsuri t-shirt, a meal, and free admission to enjoy the festival for the rest of the day. It's a fantastic way to support the community, meet new people, and experience Japanese culture in Canada. Sign up now and help us make this year's festival special. No experience required. All backgrounds, ages (16+), and abilities are welcome.
