Dear AIM Community,

It is with immense sadness that we inform you of the passing of the founder of The Shiatsu School of Canada (now AIM Academy) Kazunobu (Kaz) Kamiya.

We are forever grateful for Kaz’s dedication, drive and foresight to be one of the first pioneers of Shiatsu and Acupuncture in Canada. His passion and hard work resulted in a legacy of educational opportunities for Eastern medicine studies for Canadians.

We extend our deepest condolences to Kaz's family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with them as they navigate through this profound loss.

On a personal note, I am forever indebted to his faith, confidence and belief in me starting when I first began working with them, all the way up to taking leadership of the school. Kaz and his wife Sue have always been a strong support for me all the way through and he will be greatly missed.
