Two UNBC students, Hannah Coleman (beginner category) and Karrie Cookhouse (intermediate category) were selected as the finalists to perform in the annual Provincial Japanese Speech Arts Contest. The contest was held on Saturday, March 3, 2018, at the Halpern Centre, Simon Fraser University in Vancouver. Congratulations to both! And thanks to INTS instructor Ami Hagiwara for again making this possible.

"Doing this speech contest was a huge challenge for me, but I am so glad I did it. It's an irreplaceable experience.  Thanks to everyone who lent me their help, because of them, I was able to gather the confidence to do my best.  If you're serious about expanding your Japanese skills, I definitely recommend it!" ~ Hannah Coleman ~
