令和8年 新年の言葉「Ontario Premier of Ontario Doug Ford」

Hello and Happy New Year to the readers, staff and editors of TORJA.

This festive season is a time of joy, fellowship and goodwill for all. This is also an opportunity to celebrate this past year’s achievements and commit to making 2026 an even better year.

Ontario has long been a destination for newcomers looking for opportunities. They have contributed much to our prosperity and dynamism. We’re proud to be home to many people with roots in Japan. Your rich traditions and cultural values have contributed greatly to our cultural and economic strength.

TORJA’s work has been of vital importance to helping newcomers and Japanese Canadians understand important issues so they can participate fully in our civic life and democracy.

Best wishes for a happy and prosperous new year.

Doug Ford Premier
