This monthly event is usually held at lunch, but occasionally we have breakfast and dinner events. The speakers come from a wide variety of backgrounds including the Canadian Ambassador in Japan, business people, academics and artists. The topics are far-reaching and always interesting and provide information that is sure to be intriguing to all.

The Brown Bag Lunch series is usually held in a boardroom downtown, and participants are encouraged to bring their lunch, to enjoy while they listen.

The Brown Bag Lunch is free for Mokuyokai and Canada-Japan Society members. Guests and future members: $5.
