The annual meeting of the municipalities that have sister-city affiliations with Canadian municipalities was held in Sapporo City. Hokkaido Canada Society invited the pertinent municipalities
and entities including Hokkaido Prefectral Government,

Current President of the Society is Mr. Yoshihiro SEKIHACHI, CEO of Hokkaido Bank Company as well as the President of Hokkaido Tourism Promotion Organization. After his opening remarks, an active player of the international exchange between Hokkaido and Canada delivered the keynote speech.

So many challenges and hardles to get over were shared among the participants. Continuing the sister-city relationship seemed be tough in this graying population nowadays. But we have to hand down the splendid relationship with Canada to next generations.
