JetWit job poster Stephen Palanik (Fukushima Ken, 2004-08) learned of the following Japan-related events in the Montreal area through the Consulate General of Japan at Montreal website, and thought they might be of interest to former JETs in the Montreal area. Stephen is a translator based in Hamamatsu city, Shizuoka Ken, and he periodically posts job listings and event information for JET alumni.
