Momiji Health Care Society and Japanese Social Services provide online e-Learning sessions via “Zoom”, an online meeting platform. We have a variety of guest speakers supporting this program and sharing what they know, what they do often, and what they are expert about. It could be their hobbies, things to fill some of their days, spices they can add to their everyday lives.
How to Attend
Go to each session page (by clicking each link), click the registration button, and fill the registration form then click “Submit”. Feel free to contact us if you have difficulty accessing or filling the form.
- The registration form often uses the same language with the session language (the Japanese form for the session offered in Japanese). Follow the instruction on the session page.
- Registration deadline: 2 days before the session day (e.g. July 13 for the July 15 session)
- Confirmation : The registration receipt will be sent after submitting the form (for this reason, make sure to type your email address accurate). Check the junk box if you don’t find it in your inbox.
- Zoom URL: You will receive the invitation email that contains the Zoom meeting URL, ID and password by email a day before the session, which are not shareable to others.

Wanted: Topic Ideas, Guest Speakers
Do you have any topic you would like to learn from this program, or any skills/knowledge you can share with others (in English/Japanese/both)?
It is totally okay if you feel your skill/knowledge is not the level of “professional” (professionals are welcome too!). Our purpose to offer this program is for everyone, including those who are trying to stay home to protect themselves and/or others, to learn something they can do at home, to be cheered by seeing their peers enjoying life. Even though the attendees may not choose to try what they learn from this program, that’d still provide good opportunity to fill their day, interact with others through certain topics, and feel some enjoyment, are great for one’s mental health.
Let us know if you are interested to be our guest speaker. Though our services target individuals with Japanese background, it would be interesting and fun to learn anything related to our day to day lives!
Hosted by: Momiji Health Care Society, Japanese Social Services（JSS）
Supported by: Halton Japanese Seniors Lunch Group, JAMSNET Canada, Family Talks Forum (FTF), etc.
