The sharing of a common language with France made a decided difference in the way in which Canadians were introduced to haiku.

2002

The weekend of May 17th through 19th 2002 saw between forty and fifty haiku poets gather at Glendon College in Toronto, Ontario for Haiku Canada’s annual weekend retreat and AGM. This year’s conference marked the twenty-fifth anniversary celebration of the inception of Haiku Canada. Enthusiasm remained at a high level throughout the weekend and it occurs to me that it must be a rare thing for such a gathering to be so democratic.

Attendees included beginners, experienced poets, and poets who have won many awards. They came from Canada, the United States, and Japan. The Canadian delegates alone covered the country coast to coast…. from British Columbia to Newfoundland, and all points in between. We were all there to learn more about understanding and appreciating haiku, to hone our skills, and to honour the tradition of writing and sharing our small poems. It was as they say, a grand event.
