Noor Cultural Centre (formerly Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre)
The Noor Cultural Centre (previously the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre) was conceived by the members of the community after the Second World War when the wounds of Japanese Canadians were beginning to heal after years of internment. Time had come for the community to re-enter Canadian life and take its place within the cultural mosaic – its proportion and fine detail serve as gentle reminders of connections to the past and to Japan.
