Our Society was established in September of 2006 with the purpose of raising funds to send our youth to compete in Sport Karate International. In July 2010 we sent 38 competitors to the Trinidad World Championships to compete and brought 34 medals home for Canada. Along with supporting our athletes we do donations to 'Free the Children' Projects and in 2012 our members did a Voluntour Trip to Guatemala with' Project Somos', helping to build homes for orphans.

Annual Society Memberships (due September):

Individual: $1 year

In 2011 our Society donated $400 to Ecuador Education for Free the Children projects 

 

In 2013 our Society donated $500 to Project Somos Children's Village
