The COVID-19 pandemic has deeply affected all of our lives, and has had a significant effect on Toronto Aikikai.
One of the difficult decisions the Youth Program instructors and I have had to face and struggle with is whether
to offer Youth classes this Fall Term.
In deciding what to do we considered the challenges and risk of infection
that the students, the instructors, parents and everyone's families would face if we were to offer these classes at the dojo at
this time.
After careful deliberation, I am pleased to let you know that we have decided to take the Youth Program Online
and starting on Saturday, September 12, we will be offering five online classes a week for youth.
The Youth class instructors and I look forward to seeing you all again virtually soon, and if you have any questions
please send us an email to TA.Dojo.Mailing@gmail.com.
Finally, thank you for your understanding and continuing support, and hope you and your family will stay safe and healthy.
