In these unprecedented times, Asahi continues to try to keep the Asahi legacy alive. One of our key goals is to educate the youth about Asahi and it is quite inspiring that one of our members has decided to learn more about Asahi by completing research and report on the history of Asahi. I would encourage that more youth take this initiative. What better way of learning about Asahi than a student project. Something of great interest and the ability to share your findings to their peers and teachers.

Matthew Hesse’s Historica project about the Vancouver Asahi in his French immersion class. Although it is in French, it is a great example of a youth initiative to learn more about the history of Asahi and then sharing it amongst his class. Well done Matthew! May more students follow you in this initiative. ​English Translation by Haruki de Waal.
