On Thursday, May 22, North Island College President Lisa Domae, along with her research assistant Nevin Alexander, who is a fourth-generation Japanese–Canadian and student at the University of Victoria, gave a lecture as specially invited guests at Kyoto University of Foreign Studies (KUFS). North Island College is a KUFS partner school.

The lecture explored the Japanese-Canadian experience from a number of perspectives, including the historic background of the community, their sense of identity in the contemporary world, and the importance of cultural exchanges between Canada and Japan. Attendees were able to learn about the historical ties between the two nations forged through emigration and immigration, and to deepen their understanding of the social and cultural roles that Japanese–Canadians have played as well as their cultural roots.
