Memo for all Senior Kyorugi Athletes: Athlete Selection Criteria and Qualification Process for the 2023 Senior Kyorugi National Team

October 31, 2022
Taekwondo Canada continues to monitor the evolution of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and how it may impact its events and National Teams. In line with Government of Canada and Ontario Provincial guidelines for COVID-19 proof of vaccination, Taekwondo Canada has elected to remove the vaccination requirement for its events and National Teams. Taekwondo Canada reserves the right to amend this stance based on government regulations both provincially and/or federally.

At this time, Taekwondo Canada’s COVID-19 Vaccination Policy will not be in effect for the 2023 Canadian National Taekwondo Championships.
