Scope and content

In 1993, Maryka Omatsu was the first woman of East Asian descent to be appointed a judge in Canada. The National Action Committee on the Status of Women (NAJC), the Canadian Ethnocultural Council, and various other groups sponsored a banquet to honor Omatsu on her momentous occasion. The dinner was held June 22, 1993 at the Chinatown International Restaurant in Toronto. Omatsu is an important figure in the NAJC, as she was a negotiator and legal counsel for them during the struggle for Redress.
