Find a Regional Outreach Worker & Upcoming Events

The Japanese Canadian Survivors Health and Wellness Fund Society is operated by a Canada-wide, regionally representative Board that includes a team of Outreach Workers.

Outreach Workers are available across Canada to engage the Japanese Canadian community, find and locate eligible applicants and support Survivors with making their applications. They will also be hosting various in-person information and application assistance events in each region.

We are proud to be an inter-generational team composed of Survivors, Sanseis and Yonseis
