The Sixfold framework originally approved by the NAJC BC Redress project, the NAJC executine board, and the BC Government, is now implemented through JCLS and includes anti-racism (non-monetary, involving acknowledgment); seniors’ health & wellness; heritage; community & culture; monument; and education.
As part of the Education pillar, a team of BC-based educators have been brought on board to help design, develop, and build a brand-new digital learning hub dedicated to teaching Japanese Canadian history.
The Teacher Resources Committee is composed of 17 BC-based teachers, many with Nikkei heritage, from the K – 12 education sector who will serve on a two – three year contract. Project Director Mike Perry-Whittingham will lead the cohort in the creation of these educational resources.
The Teaching Resources Committee was created with a core advisory committee of Masako Fukawa, Greg Miyanaga, Vivian Wakabayashi Rygnestad, and Connie Kadota.
