A Farewell to Ken Shikaze, a Pioneer Japanese Canadian Activist 
A farewell to Ken Shikaze, a pioneer Japanese Canadian activist, who passed away on February 15.
Ken Shikaze was an important figure in the early 1970s Japanese Canadian movement on Powell Street. He was a strong supporter of Tonari Gumi and a key participant in the early Powell Street Festival, and an integral part in ensuring its continuing legacy.
A public Memorial Service was held at Heritage Hall. In lieu of koden or flowers, donations to Tonari Gumi or the Canadian Diabetes Association are encouraged.
