- The Japanese martial art and combat sport judo has been practised in Canada for over a century. The first long-term judo dojo in Canada, Tai Iku Dojo, was established by a Japanese immigrant named Shigetaka "Steve" Sasaki in Vancouver in 1924. Sasaki and his students opened several branch schools in British Columbia and even trained RCMP officers until 1942, when Japanese Canadians were expelled from the Pacific coast and either interned or forced to move elsewhere in Canada due to fears that they were a threat to the country after Japan entered the Second World War. When the war was over, the government gave interned Japanese Canadians two options: resettle in Canada outside of British Columbia or emigrate to Japan. The majority moved to other provinces, and Japanese Canadian resettlement is the main way that judo was introduced to the Prairies, Ontario, and Quebec. The pattern is different in Atlantic Canada and Northern Canada, where judo was typically introduced 5–10 years later and migrants from Europe played a more significant role. The Canadian Kodokan Black Belt Association, now known as Judo Canada, was established in Toronto in 1956 and recognized by the International Judo Federation as Canada's official governing body in 1958, and by 1960 there were more than 4,000 judoka in Canada, most of whom were not Japanese Canadian. Interest in judo also grew among the general public after Doug Rogers unexpectedly won silver at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, and former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau's practice of judo became a prominent part of his public persona in the late 1960s. Today there are about 400 judo clubs and approximately 25,000 judoka in Canada, and it is most popular in Quebec where there are around 120 clubs and 10,000 judoka. While most Canadian judo clubs focus on physical education and recreation, Canada has fielded competitors in international competition since the 1950s, and its athletes have won seven medals at the Summer Olympics and twelve at the World Judo Championships. Canada's most successful competitor is Nicolas Gill, who won medals at two Olympic Games and three World Championships, and is now the CEO of Judo Canada after coaching the national team from 2009 to 2016. Antoine Valois-Fortier's bronze at the 2012 London Olympics—Canada's first Olympic medal since Gill's silver in 2000—led to increased federal funding that significantly improved Judo Canada's training capacity, including a new training centre in Montreal where the organization is now based. Since then Christa Deguchi and Jessica Klimkait have won the World Judo Championships, Klimkait and Catherine Beauchemin-Pinard became the first Canadian women in history to win Olympic medals in judo at the 2020 Olympics, and Priscilla Gagné became both the first Canadian woman in history to win a medal and the first Canadian to win silver in Paralympic judo at the 2020 Paralympics.

- カナダにおける柔道（カナダにおけるじゅうどう）は、一世紀近くの歴史を持つ。カナダ初の柔道道場である「体育道場」は、1924年にシゲタカ“スティーブ”ササキ（佐々木繁孝）によってバンクーバーに設立された。ササキと彼の門下生達は、ブリティッシュ・コロンビア州に複数の支部を開いたが、第二次世界大戦中、日系カナダ人が日本の援助にまわりカナダに背くことを恐れたカナダ政府により、1940年に全ての道場が閉鎖され、道場関係者は収容所行きとなった。戦後になると、カナダ政府は戦争捕虜の移住を奨励し、多くのササキの門下生が自らの道場をカナダ全土に設立した。 1956年、カナダ講道館黒帯協会（The Canadian Kodokan Black Belt Association）が組織され、1958年に国際柔道連盟に承認された。現在ではジュードー・カナダ（Judo Canada）として知られ、10州3準州各地における柔道協会を統率する競技統括団体である。今日ではカナダ国内の約400のクラブにおいて約3万人のカナダ人が柔道の稽古をしている。 (ja)
