Every year the Saskatoon Kendo Club hosts a full weekend of kendo activities. From a welcoming practice on Friday night to an official Canadian Kendo Federation grading on Sunday morning, the event is an excellent opportunity to experience kendo at a national level without needing to travel too far. If you only plan to attend one event outside of Edmonton this year for kendo, please make it this one!
