Tommy Shoyama dies - Great Asian Canadian helped create Canada's universal health care
by
Todd

Tommy Shoyama was born in Kamloops BC. He was the editor of "The New Canadian" a Japanese-Canadian journal at the time of mass hysteria against the Japanese, and the internment of coastal Japanese Canadians. After the war, Shoyama worked in Saskatchewan with Tommy Douglas, helping to create the universal health care system that became the template for Canada. Shoyama was a nation builder for Canada following a time, when Canada and BC tried its utmost to destroy the Japanese Canadian community. more »

January 3rd, 2007 - New Tang Dynasty Television's Chinese New Year Spectacular
by
Todd
on Fri 29 Dec 2006 09:32 PM PST
I saw last year's show and was amazed! The show combined martial arts, singing, dancing, and historical legends and stories into a theatrical stage production. I wrote my review of the 2006 New Tang Dynasty TV's Chinese New Year Global
and said that:
The show is both a showcase of a Chinese interpretation of multiculturalism and also a message of compassion and spirituality, underlined by Buddhist and Confucian sensibilities. This would not be unlike any Western society celebration of Christmas with Christian storytelling about the birth of Jesus, or how it is important to give gifts and celebrate peace at Christmastime. Chinese New Year is the largest holiday celebration of the year - in fact it is the "Christmas" of the Asian world. more »

Gung Haggis Fat Choy paddlers enjoy the winter

We have a great bunch of people on the Gung Haggis Fat Choy dragon boat team. Many people have really built some good friendships. Everything we continue to do, somehow seems to revolve around or include eating.The next day, some of us tried out snowboarding for the first time on Grouse Mountain. Jonas had offered to teach beginners. I was the only skier, but was also able to help the neophyte boarders too. During an eating break, I tried out Jen's board and boots. I fell lots, and it took me 3 tries before I could get to the top of the Paradise beginner hill rope tow. It had been 12 1/2 years since my only other snow board try. Now I remember why I have stuck to skies. It's easier, and I can still do my old free-style tricks. more »

by
Todd
on Tue 19 Dec 2006 11:50 PM PST
Myriam Steinberg is the artistic director of the In the House Festival. She sends me the following notice. The House concerts idea is great. Many of the events are intercultural, and I am delighted that they feature my storytelling friends Pauline Wenn and Mary Gavan, as well as the Orchid Ensemble.
On Friday, Dec. 22nd, In the House is co-producing a series of house concerts with the Secret Lantern Society in honor of solstice. There is a Celtic folk music concert included in the line up of house concerts. I was wondering if you would be able to send this event announcement to your distribution list and/or post in on your webiste. Below is the complete description of what is happening. Thank you! more »
