Taoist Tai Chi Society of Canada
Western Region
Our name in Chinese

 

Camrose

In September 2007, the Taoist Tai Chi Society™ celebrated its 10th year in Camrose.  Like so many other small groups, we started as an external class with instructors travelling from Edmonton to lead all our classes.  Today, we have two local beginner instructors and dedicated weekly visits from a continuing instructor from Edmonton and frequent visits from a continuing instructor in Wetaskiwin.

We have two annual events locally, a late summer/early fall clinic and BBQ. We have had the honour and privilege of helping the Western region host two Health Recovery Weeks with Dr. Bruce MacFarlane and Kelly Ekman in 2004 and 2005.
