The Canadian Japanese Cultural Centre of Hamilton is situated on lands that are the traditional, unceded territories of the Neutral, Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe peoples. This territory is protected by the "Dish With One Spoon" wampum, on these treaty lands, we have the responsibility to honour and respect the four directions, land, waters, plants, animals, ancestors that walked before us, and all the wonderful elements of creation that exist. May we live with respect on this land, and in peace, friendship and respect with Indigenous peoples who are the traditional stewards of the lands and waters .
CJCC Hamilton is grateful to acknowledge support from the Japanese Canadian Legacies Infrastructure Building Improvements fund for the washroom updates, entrance renovations and the new outdoor pylon sign.
