23rd National Women’s Firefighter Exercise Competition Rally

We held a motivational rally for the Kizugawa Fire Department Women’s Team representing Kyoto Prefecture in the 23rd National Women’s Firefighter Exercise Competition (held in Akita Prefecture) at the end of September.

The women of the Kizugawa Fire Department have been practicing day and night since the beginning of April and they showed us some of their skills by practicing a water pump carrying exercise at the rally.

I’m hoping they perform well and go all out at the competition and win for Kyoto!

Kizu Minami Junior High School Art Club Exhibition

I took a short trip to the Resident Activity Space located on the first floor of our City Hall and was delighted by the individualistic art pieces of the Kizu Minami Junior High School Art Club members.

I also viewed a display on the “Art Mile,” an international mural project conducted with the cooperation of multiple countries around the world. Kizu Minami Junior High’s art mural was created with cooperation from a school in Azerbaijan. By the display, I could tell it was a very fun project to take part in for the students.
