Karate Ontario is recognized by the provincial government (through the Ministry of Health Promotion) as the only sport governing body for karate in Ontario. As such, the organization is responsible for organizing and regulating all aspects of karate within the province. Its ongoing commitment to the highest standards of quality is evident in its broad range of member services including its comprehensive assessment of clubs wishing to join the organization, National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) courses leading to accreditation and seminars with karate masters from around the world. In support of its mandate to promote karate amongst Ontarians, Karate Ontario has developed special programs such as the Long Term Athletes Development Program (LTAD), Athletes with a Disability, Long Term Officials Development Program (including a strong focus on women) and an outreach program for Northern Ontario.
Members of Karate Ontario have a unique opportunity to compete at the provincial, national and international levels. This is made possible through Karate Ontario's membership with Karate Canada which, in turn, is the only Canadian organization that is a member of the World Karate Federation as well as the Canadian Olympic Committee. Members wishing to explore other ways to engage in their local karate community can also take advantage of many exciting and rewarding volunteer opportunities.
