Officials National outcomes<br />
<strong>Karate</strong> <strong>Canada</strong> currently has a total of 80 qualified officials:<br />
9 WKF officials; 6 active<br />
17 PKF officials; all active<br />
54 NF officials; most are active<br />
However, our officials at the high end are aging and more development is needed at the low end for succession.<br />
International outcomes of examinations<br />
2011 WKF Malaysia; 2 upgrades, 2 new licences<br />
2011 PKF Brazil; 3 upgrades<br />
2011 PKF Mexico; 4 upgrades<br />
<strong>2012</strong> PKF Nicaragua: 4 upgrades<br />
<strong>2012</strong> PKF Mexico: 16 upgrades<br />
Performance comment<br />
Canadian officials participated in WKF, PKF Seniors, PKF Juniors, Ibero Americano Championships,<br />
US Open, Paris Open<br />
Rates of outcomes to examination attempts high.<br />
National seminars<br />
Participation in national course consistently high, feedback is consistently positive.<br />
However, changes in the approach to training, evaluating and certifying officials are needed and barriers to<br />
participation in national level training seminars and activities needs to be lowered.<br />
Provincial seminars for national referee/judge qualifications<br />
Seminars conducted in provinces: New Brunswick, 2, Manitoba 2<br />
Seminars attracted large numbers of participants and were profitable in both provinces.<br />
Provisional National referee/judge qualifications can be achieved by training and evaluation in provinces. Such<br />
candidates become fully licensed upon after performing to their provisionally licenced standard within two years.<br />
Regional support<br />
Officials need support. <strong>Karate</strong> <strong>Canada</strong> grants and individuals hoping to achieve higher officiating qualifications<br />
cannot continue to be paying volunteers. Each province needs to support and implement the development of<br />
their junior, senior, female and male officials in line with national and regional athlete and coaching development.<br />
Presently only one province funds its referees to attend international events.<br />
