Sempai Caren, who can be seen most often working with the younger students in the Dojo, has been given an award. We are so proud.

I am humbled and honoured to announce that on May 3rd, 2017 I received the Prime Minister’s Award of Excellence in Early Childhood Education.  Educators teaching from preschool to grade 12 enjoyed a special ceremony with Prime Minister Trudeau to receive this incredible honour. There are roughly 16 nominees selected each year across the country to receive this award, out of 250 applications. A highlight was also to enjoy listening to each other's inspirational stories during a one day ‘Sharing of Best Practices’ session.  The week came with a lifetime of memories and I was happy to also have my family along to celebrate this special achievement.
