As you may all know, the city is in negotiations with some of our civic unions to renew contracts.

As part of this process, there is a possibility that there may be a strike or lockout that will cause the closure of the JJP Centre. The date at which this may occur is February 1, 2012.

So far, JJP Centre has not renewed our gym permit and everyone should be prepared to look to other dojo's for practices until further notice.
