Your Dragon Boat Report
The JETAA Fighting Carps have just finished off another terrific season.
This year, the carps did an amazing job at their Oakville regatta earning a gold medal in the D category – a second year in a row!! Unfortunately, they did not fare so well at the Great White North competition. They showed team work and a lot of heart during the races and as always enjoyed a great day filled with friends, racing and amazing food.

New JETs Take Off For Japan!
The annual Pre-Departure Orientation (held June 24-26) was a huge success. New JETs learned more about their soon-to-be new lives in Japan by attending various workshops covering areas such as rural living, office relationships, traveling in Japan, and being a first time teacher and many more. JAVA once again put together a humourous skit about Japanese social etiquette, which has always been a welcome addition to orientation. Now with the new JETs arriving in Japan, we at JETAA wish them all the best and hope they will adjust well to their new lives.
After a full day of preparation for their upcoming adventure in Japan, our enthusiastic group of newly appointed Toronto JETs headed to the Bedford Academy pub to relax and unwind over a few drinks and light appetizers.
