**About Momiji Health Care Society**:
Momiji Health Care Society is a not-for-profit, charitable organization founded in 1978.

Our Momiji Centre, opened in 1992 after years of dedicated efforts, stands as a testament to our commitment to providing a harmonious and joyful space for seniors. In 2009, we were honoured to host their Majesties the Emperor and Empress of Japan during their Canadian tour, solidifying our reputation as an organization of distinction.
