Introducing Chénier La Salle – Lessons Learned In and Out of Japan

On November 2, 2016, the TJCS Business Committee hosted an exclusive event introducing Mr. Chénier LaSalle, Consul and Senior Trade Commissioner, Consulate of Canada in Nagoya, who had assumed the position in August, 2016.


Mr. LaSalle was greeted by the who's who of the Tokai Region over drinks and light Canadian delicacies prepared by the host venue - Sienna Steak House.

Lessons Learned, In and Out of Japan

During the evening, Mr. LaSalle introduced himself formally by way of a brief presentation highlighting his international experiences both prior to and as a member of the Canadian Foreign Service. No stranger to the Tokai Region, Mr. La Salle had spent time in Nagoya as an international student, and had worked in Japan, in the private sector, prior to joining the government.

The atmosphere was relaxed, if not downright festive, and all attendances had a great time thouroughly enjoying the presentation which was equally humourous and inspirational.


The Tokai Japan Canada Society looks forward to a mutually supportive relationship with Mr. La Salle over the next several years.
