The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) is a worldwide non-profit educational organization dedicated to researching and recreating the best of the middle ages, and the renaissance, the period of history from 600 to 1600.
Members of the SCA do most anything from singing and dancing to weaving, fighting, fencing, archery, research , etc; basically anything that would have been done in the time period that the society covers.

The University of Waterloo is in the canton of Bryniau Tywynnog, in the Barony of RamsHaven which is in the Kingdom of Ealdormere.

Here is a list of People and Groups in the SCA that was started by Mistress Ellisif and that I now manage. Instructions on updating the list is given on the web page itself.

Bryniau Tywynnog (Kitchener-Waterloo SCA)
Summer meetings typically are in Waterloo park (by the pavilion) beginning June. Fighting will start whenever a marshall and enough fighters are there.
Winter meetings are at St. Judes Private school at 888 Trillium Dr (Bleams end of Trillium) in Kitchener.
The meetings are on Thursday nights 7:30

For information call Richard T. Lionheart (in the phonebook).
