In an effort to stimulate an increase in travel to Japan, The Japan Tourism Agency has proposed that the Japanese Federal Government approve the necessary funds required in their 2012 Budget to offer 10,000 foreigners free airfares to visit their country next year.

The number of foreign tourists to Japan fell more than 50% in the three months following the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami.

If the Federal Government supports this endeavour, on-line applications will be available in April 2012. The Agency will select the successful applicants and ask them to write a report about their trip which will be published on the internet. Tourism officials hope that the positive reports from travelers will help ease international concerns about visiting Japan.

The article from September 22, 2011 in Lethbridge Herald:


Lethbridge's Harold Pereverseff was among those greeting Susumu Fukuda, Counsul General of fapan, at the annual conference of the Alberta/Japan Twinned Municipalities Association (A/JTMA) in Hinton.

Pereverseff, of the Lethbridge Twinning Society, will continue his role of president of the А/JTMA for another year.

Establishing Alberta/Japan twinning relations was the vision of former Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed in 1972 when there was formalization of the relationship between the Town of Jasper and Hakone-cho. Since then the number of twinned municipalities in Alberta has grown to 22. The Lethbridge Twinning Society has established relations withTowada City.

The A/JTMA acts as as a conduit to encourage Alberta/Japan twin relations and also supports and enhances existing relations by sharing new ideas and innovative opportunities.

Counsul General Fukuda addressed the delegates and thanked them for their kind and compassionate assistance to fapan following the devastating earthquake and tsunami in March of this year, he also was encouraged by the diligence of the A/JTMA in supporting and encouraging strong twinning relationships.

The A/JTMA is working with municipalities in Alberta to assist in establishing new Japanese twin relations, and to help strengthen existing ones, informal relationships in municipalities can be supported by the A/JTMA and they are encouraged to join the organization.

Further information on the A/JTMA can be found on www.ajtma.com.

T-AIR President Shirayama presents Lethbridge Twinning Society donation to Towada City Mayor Oyamada.

http://lethbridgetwinningsociety.com/content/English/japanese.php

Hello Harold!!

I received the donation from the Lethbridge Twinning Society for Towada City on Monday, June 13.

Thank you very much!!


When your kind message was read at the general assembly of the Towada Association for International Relationship (TAIR), Mr. Haruwo SHIRAYAMA, the president of the TAIR, told that your donation should be used effectively for evacuees who were from other areas and living in Towada.

I'm sure that it would be used effectively to relief them. As I told you in an email sent just two days after the earthquake, Towada was not damaged so heavily as other areas along the Pacific
shore. And my city locates about 350km north of the crippled nuclear power plant in the Fukushima prefecture. The bad effect of the nuclear accident is rarely detected in Towada. So most citizens already recovered their daily life.

Due to the damaged nulcear reactors, it takes very long time to achieve a true recovery. But people will stand up again, just as they stood up from the ruins after the second world war.


Thank you again for your kind donation!!

With the best regards,
ARAO Teiichi

This year we are expecting another delegation of guests from Japan to visit us in Lacombe from September 17 to 20th. We look forward to being reunited with old friends who make the trip every year. We are certain to make new friendships once again with families from Japan and Lacombe.

The city of Lacombe made a very generous donation to help with the costs involved in sending a delegation of Lacombe residents to Rikubetsu Japan in July so that we may celebrate our 25th anniversary as twined communities together. A scholarship contest was held for students of Lacombe and two lucky recipients were awarded funds to help with the cost of their trip. Unfortunately, in light of the disaster in Japan, we have agreed to postpone our trip for a future date.

2011 News

The Lacombe Friendship Society held an "Origami Night" to raise relief funds for our Japanese friends and families. It was a fun night with many guests ranging from 5 year olds to adults! We raised awareness in the community of our Friendship Society as well as $215 to donate to the Red Cross for Japanese Relief.

Hello the directing members of the Lethbridge Twinning Society.

As you know from the world news coverages, the eastern-northern half part of
Japan from the Tokyo area to the Hokkaido area was hit by the largest
earthquake officially recorded in Japan. The energy released was magnitude
9.0, one of the strongest officially recorded of the world ever! The
earthquake intensity was 7.0 at the strongest in the Japanese standard,
which means that almost all buildings, even though built of concrete, would
be destroyed instantly.

When the earthquake occurred, the graduation celebrating party of Kitasato
University in Towada had just begun and the speech of the Dean suddenly
stopped. The light disappeared due to the power blackout. But all the
students and professors are accustomed to earthquake, no one fell into a
panic. They all evacuated from the party room to the outdoors led by the
clerks in charge. The party was aborted and the dean told them to go back
home and to the university to confirm the safety.

The water supply was maintained very fortunately.

Very large scale TSUNAMI again and again hit the shores facing the Pacific
Ocean and the Japan Sea, which reminds you of the ones that occurred in
Sumatra Island in 2004. Many people living in the area facing the Pacific
Ocean seem to have got hit and taken away by the wave. TSUNAMI, which means
"harbor wave," is not simply a wave. It is like a flooding sea that runs
very fast, as fast as the Japanese bullet train.

Furthermore, nuclear power stations that locate along the Pacific Ocean
shore in the Fukushima prefecture got hit by the strong earthquake and got
their reactors destroyed. The news tells that melt down of their reactors
occurred, radioactive materials spilled out and tens of people were
contaminated by the radioactives.

Towada locates 35 km west of Hachinohe city that was hit by the strong
TSUNAMI and heavily damaged. And it also locates about 70m high from the sea
level. So we have no fear of TSUNAMI. And the earthquake intensity in Towada
was only 5, which means that walls would be cracked or chimneys would fall
down. But no chimney fell down in Towada. Maybe you would be able to find
cracks on some walls if you were careful enough.

The electricity supply was recovered at around 23:05 on March 12. The
citizens are recovering their daily life now. No one died or missing in
Towada. very fortunately. But other cities and communities seem to have
serious damages by the earthquake and the TSUNAMI, especially Hachinohe.

Now all the trains in the eastern-northern half of Japan stop. No one can
predict the recovery. The track of the bullet train from Tokyo to Aomori is
said to be seriously damaged. Many power poles on the track fell down and
some concrete poles that support the track were destroyed.
Short-time recovery is impossible. Maybe it takes a month or so.

Anyway, no one died and missing in Towada. Towada survived the earthquake
and is heading to the recovery.

Sicnerely yours,

LETHBRIDGE: As Japan emerges from the ravages of last week's tsunami and earthquake, Lethbridge is organizing help for its people.

The local Twinning Society is organizing a fundraiser for its partner city of Towada, Japan. Towada is located about a half hour from the coast that received the brunt of the impact, but escaped the disaster without injuries, deaths, or major damage.

Society president Harold Pereverseff says the population is still facing major challenges though, with limited fuel, power, and access to food supplies.

He described his experience talking to a friend in Towada Monday, saying though his family was fine, he seemed frightened.

"They're getting these tremors basically every hour," said Pereverseff. "And as I spoke with him, there was a tremor that happened right while we were speaking. On the Skype [video phone] I could see the curtains swaying. It lasted about 45 seconds."

A member of the Towada Association for International Relations says he's pleased to hear that help is coming from partners in Lethbridge. Teiichi Arao spoke to Country 95 News on Tuesday from Japan. He had this message for his friends here.

"Towada is alive. And the citizens are getting back to daily life. We're very fortunate," he said.

Arao added his group may move some of the funds to the homeless in evacuation camps - a total estimated at 450,000 people.

"They need blankets and food and fuel for the heat systems," he said, his voice sounding strained as he went on to explain it's winter season there, with temperatures dropping to an average -2 C each night.

The need for fuel is a concern in many areas at the moment. Towada is particularly isolated as the nearest major centre, Hachinohe, was heavily devasted by the earthquake and after effects. That coastal community's shipping port has been closed, and major roads into Towada have been washed out. That means food and fuel - supplies of any type - will be more scarce.

Former mayor enthusiastically supports cause

Former mayor Bob Tarleck was closely involved with Twinning Society and even visited the sister city in Japan. He says Lethbridge's history of giving to those in crisis is a favourable foundation for this initiative.

"The Japanese-Canadian community in Lethbridge has done so much this a better community," he said. "And I think this gives the people in Lethbridge once again to stretch their hand in generosity to a people who are in dire need."

He received a letter from a member of Towada's Twinning Society, shortly before the earthquake and has stayed in close contact since. He says though the city has much to be thankful for, concerns are still there.

"Yoko emailed me last night saying they only have half a tank of gas in their car and they're worried about when they'll be able to get some more. So people are concerned about the break down of the whole supply network," he said. "It's going to be a huge adjustment. But the Japanese people have a lot of forbearance. I know that they will come through this."

On July 13 and 14, 2010 - Stony Plain was the setting for the A/JTMA yearly conference. This year were not only experiencing the benefits of the conference, but celebrated in the 30th anniversary of Alberta-Japan Twinned relations. It all began with Jasper and Hakone Town Kanagawa and we have not looked back since then, we continue to advance in our twinning relationships.

We appreciate the conference hosted by the town of Stony Plain and their community, it is a lovely community so fresh and clean with beautiful murals adorning various buildings around town. Please prepare to join us at the conference in Hinton next year!

The Barrhead & District Twinning Committee is alive and well and in August 2010 it will be 19 years since the signing of the original twinning agreement with our Twin Town, Tokoro, and Hokkaido, Japan. With many small towns in Hokkaido experiencing down sizing and having residence moving away, Tokoro was amalgamated with Kitami City in 2006. Even though our original agreement was with Tokoro, Kitami City has agreed to continue with the twinning relations. This was very good news to all involved since past and current members work hard to keep up the cultural exchange.

Since that time members have come and gone on the committee, but the main purpose and support has stayed strong. Every year, a delegation arrives from Tokoro to bond with our community. This past March, 5 students, Ryuji Shibaya, Shinji Fujita, Miho Kashiwaya, Minako Kauaguchi & Miki Sudo and their English Teacher Mr.Takahito Narita along with long time friend and translator, Miss Miwa Nakadai, arrived in Barrhead for a week long visit. While here they like to tour the funeral home and visit the Children’s Day Care. They attend school with their home stay families, tour around the community and of course a must is to visit West Edmonton Mall. We always end with a farewell supper, at which members from the committee, local town and county councils and home stay families can attend to say goodbye.

In November 2009, 10 Barrhead residents, 4 students and 6 adults, traveled to Tokoro to spend 10 days learning about our Twin Town and experiencing first hand the Japanese culture and hospitality. One parent summed up the experience this way; “we came as friends and left as family”!

The committee participates locally by entering a float in the annual Barrhead Blue Heron Fair in August and in the past has hosted a Wine & Cheese Poetry evening to promote the twinning exchange and to remind the community that we are twinned with Japan. To further honour and acknowledge our twinning, a beautiful park with dedicated space was developed; it is a western version of a Japanese garden with the traditional three large rocks, a cement lantern, a zig-zag bridge and a dry river bed. We have a plaque to mark the importance of the park and unveiled the park at our 15th Anniversary in August 2006 with several delegates on hand from Tokoro. It was an exciting time and each year the committee adds a few more shrubs and flowers to enhance the park.

August,, 2011 marks the 20th Anniversary of our twinning agreement with Tokoro/Kitami City, Hokkaido and the people there have graciously agreed to host a celebration during Bon Fest for us. The committee is looking forward to celebrating this mile stone and plans are currently underway for a delegation to attend. On behalf of our Twinning Committee, thank you Stony Plain for hosting the Alberta/Japan Twinning Conference in your beautiful community. Congratulations and continued success to all communities who are maintaining their twinning relations with the communities in Japan.

On July 16, 2010 Asuto ARAO arrived in Lethbridge to begin a study session in English at “Flexible Learning Systems”. This was Asuto's second visit to Canada , the first time five years earlier with his his family. Asuto is now 18 years old and a student of Mechanical Engineering at Hachinohe National College of Technology just outside of Towada City, Japan. Asuto was the guest of Harold and Cheryl and their family during his stay in Lethbridge. Many members of the Twinning Society made Asuto feel at home, and provided many activities and “adventures” for him! Bryan took Asuto on a visit to Edmonton. The drive was more than Asuto could imagine! Usually in Japan travel of any length is either done by Shinkansen (Bullet Train) or by air. To travel for 5 hours in a car is virtually unheard of in Japan!

Asuto was most impressed with our cuisine, he tried everything, there were some tastes he did not enjoy, and there were others that he loved! He could have passed on the “Russia Borscht”on the other hand, his favourite (of all things!) Cheryl's lasagne! Asuto received a very special invitation from the Consul General of Japan to visit the Consulate Office in Calgary. Asuto made the visit, and was treated to a wonderful lunch, not Japanese food, rather Italian! Vice Consul, Naoki Sasahara along with Jeremiah Davies were most gracious towards Asuto and left a very memorable impression on this young man.

The studies at the Flexible Learning System were perfect for the short time Asuto had to study. He was studying along with many people from various countries of the world who, like him, were trying their best to learn English and the Canadian Culture. Elma and her staff at Flexible Learning System sure do an excellent job, and we give them a huge thank you for accommodating Asuto.

Before Asuto left for home on August 20, 2010 he had the opportunity of watching a baseball game at Spitz Stadium, driving a go cart, golfing, bowling, camping, bar b ques, a wedding,eating pizza at the pizzeria, seeing movies, getting a Canadian haircut, touring the UofL, interacting with a delegation visiting from China, meeting a long lady visiting from our twin city, Timashevsk, Russia, learning the Lethbridge Transit System and bus routes, shopping, bike riding and roller blading! He even experienced a hail storm! The first time he ever seen hail!

We all agreed that Asuto's visit was too short! He is welcome back anytime!

EDMONTON -- The 17 Downy Cherry shrubs planted this week on the east grounds of the Alberta Legislature are just babies, each about a foot tall.

But in a few years, the saplings will grow up to 10 times their size, and springtime blooms will fragrance the air, bringing a touch of Hokkaido to Alberta.

The ornamental trees, native to Japan, represent the 17 Alberta municipalities and 15 high schools twinned with Japanese counterparts in the prefecture of Hokkaido.

Centred around a stone lantern, the garden was officially unveiled at a ceremony Wednesday celebrating the 80th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Japan and Canada .

"One of the unique things about Japanese culture is the importance of gardens," said Ken Kowalski, Speaker of the legislative assembly.

"Japanese gardens are designed for a variety of purposes such as providing a tranquil sanctuary that allows individuals to escape from the stresses of daily life, or it could be a place for recreation or a place for celebration."

This part of the legislative grounds, he said, will become a "garden of friendship and co-operation. Just as this garden will grow with attention ... so will our partnership."

"It's an honour because it's going to be part of our history," said Cameron Doerr, a ninth-grader at D.S. MacKenzie junior high who planted a tree with Lethbridge Mayor Bob Tarleck.

Doerr visited Japan last summer as part of his school's exchange program with its twin, Fushimi junior high in Sapporo. He hopes to one day return to Asia as an English teacher.

Besides opening doors for youth, the twinning program also encourages a sharing of culture, language and trade between the two countries, said Harold Pereverseff, president of the Alberta/Japan twinned municipalities association.

"We have 17 trees here now, but as we encourage more municipalities to come onboard, more twinnings, there's lots of room. I'd like to see 34 trees in the next couple of years."

On October 27, 2007 a group of 17 students and 3 chaparones arrived in Lethbridge from Towada City, Japan. The Students were guests of teachers, parents and students from Wilson Middle School. As a continuation of student visitations from Towada City, this delegation was represented the third visit.

This year the weather cooperated and we did not have snow or extreme cold weather. The students were excited to meet their host families and to participate in the activities. The chaparones were busy as well.

The Lethbridge Twinning Society were able to present gifts to each student, and this year we presented warm touques, as we expected the weather to be much colder. We were able to spend time with the students and chaparones and on Halloween evening we met the chaparones and took them out for the evening. We made a stop to "Red Dog Diner" where we enjoyed some fresh hot dogs before embarking on our journey to the "Haunted Mansion" in Stirling, Alberta. A town approximately one half hour away south from Lethbridge. After being scared to death in the "Haunted Mansion" we made our way back to Lethbridge where we had a pizza party dinner and exchanged gifts and became better acquainted.

The Lethbridge Twinning Society appreciates the student visits that have been taking place on a bi-annual basis. We hope to further support these visits in the future.
