Association Profile
| The Peterborough Tai Chi Association was established in September 1976. Our local group began at Trent University and we held weekly classes in the dining hall of Otonabee College for some years. |
| As interest in Tai Chi spread into the non-university community, we moved our meeting place to beautiful downtown Peterborough, Ontario, in order to make activities more accessible to area residents. Other classes are also held at other locations for the benefit of those unable to come to our George Street location. |
|
Classes are given in the Yang Style as taught by Sam Masich.
