Uplands Aikido - Koshinkan Dojo

In addition to the events of our final night of our training season I was humbled by an unexpected presentation by Allison MacLeod on behalf of PSP CFSG Ottawa-Gatineau of a Service Award. I very much appreciate their recognition.

Last night marked the end of our training season. I was honoured to recognize the dedicated commitment to Aikido training of Aliyah Thibault.
Unfortunately her Dad is being posted out of Ottawa. As Chief Instructor of Uplands Aikido - Koshinkan Dojo
I speak for all our members who were involved in Aliyah's training "You will be missed"
As a token for to remember us by Aliyah was presented with a Boken, Koshydojo hat and T shirt.
