The Embassy of Japan is committed to continuing its utmost efforts to provide rapid emergency response and help in the region affected by the disaster. Your continuing support in this regard is greatly appreciated.
1. Donation for the relief of the victims through the Embassy of Japan in Canada

The donations will be sent to the Japanese Red Cross Society to be paid directly to the victims. In a notice dated March 23, 2011, the Embassy of Japan requested that donation cheques be noted to specify the desired recipient of the donation, either the Government of Japan or the Japanese Red Cross Society.
