The fund raiser will be held on June 7, 2009. Your organization can help us in different ways: 1) by publicizing this event, 2) being a sponsor, 3) donating an item for our silent auction, and/or 4) buying a table of ten tickets. Edmonton ALPHA will acknowledge your support in our program brochure.

Edmonton ALPHA is a chapter of Canada ALPHA (Association for Learning and Preserving the History of WWII in Asia), a cross-Canada group of volunteer teachers, scholars and other interested people who share two common goals: (1) to seek a formal apology from the Government of Japan to those who were the victims of its aggression during WWII, and (2) to foster genuine and long-lasting reconciliation between Japan and its Asian neighbours. 6 g+ e! l- e q/ K! m5 h7 n% R* e

Beginning in 2004, Canada ALPHA has helped sponsor Canadian teacher participation on study tours to China and Korea. During such study tours, teachers meet with scholars, lawyers, museum curators and--most importantly--survivors of Imperial Japan's atrocities. # Z! | y- N2 n4 s- c3 R& r% q9 G$ t
