2014 U23 & Junior National Badminton Championships Hosting Opportunity

Hosting Opportunity

Through a competitive bid process delivered by Badminton Canada; the City of Richmond, Richmond Olympic Oval, and Westlu Badminton Club were able to secure the hosting rights for the 2014 U23 & Junior National Badminton Championships.  Due to a scheduling conflict, the Richmond Olympic Oval is not able to host the event on the proposed dates and thus I am able to relay the opportunity to host to any Richmond based facility (pending final Badminton Canada approval).
