It was a great night at the Association’s Annual Award Banquet.  I would like to first thank Sport PEI and ADL for their support. It was great to have Nick Murray and Mark McGuigan representing their respective organizations.

I would also like to thank the people who made it happen. During the dinner were a ton of people helping out in the kitchen and serving the food which was greatly appreciated. I would like to recognize Tom Campbell who MC’d and did a ton of work getting it organized (as well as his daughter Lily, who helped set up and decorate) as well as Mandy Li who prepared a lot of the food in advance (probably more than we will ever now). Thank so much to both of you.

It was a great night made even more special for everyone by having Grand Master Lee in attendance. We had a lot of awards given out from the individual schools as well as the Chong Lee Cup from the Association and the Sport PEI awards.

The winners of the PEI Taekwondo school awards were:

• Most Improved: Claudia McCardle
• Academic Standing: Ronan Lantz
• Fairplay Award: Kaleb Timmons

The Chong Lee Cup Award recognizes outstanding effort at the Provincial Taekwondo Tournament. This year the winners were:

• Jr. Female: Ashlyn Carpenter
• Jr. Male: Isaac McCardle

Last but not least the Sport PEI Awards recognize those for their contributions throughout the year.
