VANCOUVER ISLAND OBON TOUR 2008

The ‘Obon Tour’ this year was not an ‘Obon Tour’ as such, but rather a weekend of Cemetery Visitations on Vancouver Island. The ‘tour’ unfortunately had to be cancelled this year due to lack of participants. This year’s group consisted…

Looking for Aki

I am looking a man by the name of Aki. When my husband, Donato Cianci (he was known as Don then) was a young boy in West Vancouver, he had a playmate by the name of Aki. His last name…

In Conversation with Art Miki

I finally received a call from Minister Weiner’s office at noon on September 21st that the redress announcement would be made the following day.

Interview: Harry Aoki

I sat down with Gary Cristall and Harry Aoki last week at Nikkei Place. Gary is writing a book on the history of folk music in Canada and had been wanting to talk to Harry for quite some time. When…

The Case of the Missing Computer

Later that night we braved the cold and wandered down to the hotel pub, which even by the lowly standards of the neighbourhood could be generously described as a dive. Amidst the hookers, hustlers, bikers, winos and junkies the presence of two cherubic Bulletin editors stood out like sore thumbs.

History of The Bulletin Part IV

In the June Bulletin, we looked at the period from the end of 1984 to the end of 1986. During this period, the “new” Bulletin began to forge a new direction, playing a greater role in highlighting the achievements of…
