The event, which will be organized by Morningstar Taekwon-Do head instructor Mike Morningstar, will draw competitors from Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Quebec and Ontario. Since this is also a selection year for Team Canada, the top two finishers in senior black belt competition and the top three finishers in junior black belt competition will qualify for the national championships. There, they will fight for the right to represent Canada at the 2009 world championships in Argentina. The Eastern Canadian Championships will be contested March 8 at Sheridan College. All proceeds from the championships will go towards the Taekwon-Do Academy of Ontario, a non-profit organization that governs all International Taekwon-Do Federation schools in Ontario, as well as funding Ontario athletes and instructors for future championships and seminars.
