Mandate and Mission     
An 'umbrella' group, The BC Taekwondo  Association welcomes and recognizes all Tae Kwon Do styles associated with authentic Tae Kwon Do organizations. The BC Taekwondo Association is a not for profit, legal entity, registered, responsible and duly accountable under the Society Act and laws of British Columbia, Canada. Membership requires high standards, with external accountability. Schools and instructors sanctioned by the BC Taekwondo Association are recognized by registered national and international associations in good standing. Every school applicant must disclose any history which may include conviction of a criminal offense or similar record. Schools and events must be insured (meeting our standard) . A primary value of this society is operating with direct respect for the needs and rights of Canadian citizens of British Columbia in concert with our Provincial Government and in willing accordance with the laws of this land. Each individual member 15 years of age and older has a voting right. We seek to promote the complete depth and width of this wonderful martial art as a fulfilling lifestyle activity in equal opportunity for all British Columbians.

Karate BC has proven the possibility and success of co-operation. Today they have thousands of members and full block funding. They hold many competitions including a Provincial where all are welcome, regardless of style version. Respective styles retain their own identities and distinction, coming together in competition under a common set of rules. Their Societal Officers and committees are a true reflection of their membership. Another established and successful body that closely resembles our Society is the USA Amateur Athletic Union (AAU). The BC Taekwondo Association will not infringe on any TKD style's internal methods, promotion or organized event. Members may belong to societies besides ours.

The purposes of this society are To promote the principles and philosophy of  Tae Kwon Do throughout British Columbia as an impartial, equal, and welcome opportunity for any citizen wishing to study the whole Martial Art and sport.
