Kalev Estienne – the hosting club – is the oldest in Canada and it's founder – Evelyn Koop – introduced the sport to Canada many decades ago. She was an Olympic level judge and now in her mid 80's – helped champion getting the sport into the Olympics. Evelyn is a story unto her own….she brought coaches from Europe where the sport is know and they in turn have opened clubs of their own- many of the clubs across Canada originated with Evelyn and she has also spread the sport to other countries. She has received may accolades over the years – awards and recognition for her contribution to this wonderful sport. Evelyn has met Pierre Trudeau, Queen Elizabeth, and many more who have congratulated her for her life's work.
