A FIT THANKSGIVING

Celebrating the holiday with exercise and a turkey bento picnic

On October 9, about 20 Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Japan (CCCJ) members and friends gathered at Shiba Koen for a morning of yoga and running, followed by a lunch picnic overlooking Tokyo Tower.

After a prolonged period of staying home, participants enjoyed celebrating this year’s Thanksgiving with some healthy activities and a specially prepared turkey bento lunch.

Participants told us that it was a great opportunity to do something healthy and celebrate Thanksgiving with friends and good food. One participant said: “This is the best bento and best turkey ever!”

Organized by the CCCJ Wellness Committee, this was the fourth event focused on health and networking with the like-minded since the committee’s formation at the end of 2019. Driven by popularity, the committee will be hosting more networking events in 2022 with a focus on fitness activities and nutritional food. Stay tuned!
