An education fair will be held at the Canadian Embassy today and Sunday in Tokyo's Akasaka district. The fair will be the first sponsored by the Canadian Education Centre Network in conjunction with the Canadian Education Alliance, two nonprofit organizations officially supported by the embassy.
The fair will feature representatives of 50 Canadian institutions representing various high schools, universities and colleges.
The event, which is free and open to the public, will give attendants the opportunity to discuss future education goals, career aspirations or ask general questions about Canada.
There will be daily presentations between 1 and 4:30 p.m. about the Canadian educational system with talks given by Japanese students who have studied in Canada.
Attendants will have an opportunity to win a free study trip to Canada. Both sessions are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the lobby of the Canadian Embassy, which is a three-minute walk from Aoyama 1-chome Station on the Ginza or Hanzomon lines.
