Welcome to everyone !

On behalf of all members of Karate Quebec, I would like to congratulate warmly the Larouche Karate Dojo club for having been chosen as organizer for the 15th Pan-American Championship of Shitoryu karate do that will take place August 3rd to 5th, 2012 in the city of Gatineau.

It is with great pleasure that I wish to welcome you all, honorable guests, leaders of delegation, senseis, officials, numerous volunteers, and of course, all the competitors who will take part in this exceptional sport event.

It is a privilege to welcome an event of this magnitude and of such quality in the province of Quebec. Thus, we wait enthusiastically for the beginning of the Championship.

Good luck to the athletes and good stay in Quebec!

President of Karate Quebec
