Dear Kendo Community,As we approach the end of 2023, we wish to thank all of the members of the Kendo community for their ongoing support and contribution towards the growth and development of Kendo in Ontario. We have seen increased participation in tournaments, seminars and exams in 2023. The leadership of our Sensei and the cooperation within the community has enabled Kendo to bounce back with enthusiasm and positive energy. We wish to close the year with a special Godo-Keiko and optional late lunch for all members of the Kendo community on Sunday December 10, 2023. The Godo-Keiko (for both non-bogu and bogu members) will be held at the Etobicoke Olympium from 10:00am -12:00pm (see below for details), followed by an optional, special set lunch at Ginko restaurant at 1:30pm.
