Executive Director

Founded in 1963, the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre (JCCC) is a not-for-profit organization that celebrates the unique culture and history of Japan, and the legacy of Japanese Canadians for the benefit of all Canadians. The JCCC is recognized worldwide as an important and vibrant community institution.

Since its opening, the JCCC has served as a gathering place for those with an interest in Japanese Canadian history and Japanese culture. With the motto, “friendship through culture,” the common denominator for involvement at the JCCC is a shared interest in the programming and events in an environment where everyone is welcomed equally and with respect.

The JCCC is run on revenue generated through its distinctive programs and events, rental income and donated funds, and through the support of its nearly 1,200 energetic and enthusiastic volunteers of all ages and backgrounds.

The JCCC is seeking a forward-thinking, energetic, and entrepreneurial leader who will be a visible champion for the organization and its pride of place in the cultural and wider community of Toronto and Canada. The Executive Director (ED) will be a champion for JCCC’s exhibition, educational, and program offerings. They will be comfortable representing the JCCC to various Canadian and Japanese public bodies and individual stakeholders and, in conjunction with the Board Chair/President, will be the public face of the organization.
