Canada’s Ambassador in Japan, Mackenzie Clugston, passed through British Columbia at the beginning of Feburary, and we were again honoured that he took some time with us ‘in conversation’. In a departure from the usual dinner speaker format, Society Vice-President John Tak engaged with and moderated a conversation, joined by Seiji Okada, Japan’s Consul General and Honourary Society Chair and Ben Stewart, B.C.’s Trade and Investment Commissioner.
