After much deliberation around the safety and liability, both Badminton BC (BBC) and Vancouver Lawn, Tennis & Badminton Club (VLTCB) has agreed to postpone the upcoming Junior A tournament scheduled for September 24-26, 2021 to protect our members and their families during these uncertain times.  Badminton BC has been advised by government and ViaSport to follow the PHO Order.  The Order can be found here: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/health/about-bc-s-health-care-system/office-of-the-provincial-health-officer/covid-19/covid-19-pho-order-gatherings-events.pdf
 
VLTBC have their own concerns about hosting the tournament.  Both organizations are keen for a return to sport and to collaborate on a future date.  The event will be rescheduled when the PHO Order allows all our members, players, supporters, and staff to participate safely.  Thank you to those who registered already – we will process your refunds right away.  Confirmed future events will be announced soon.

We are currently working very hard with the BC government to ensure that we are taking the appropriate course of action to safely restart badminton play in our community. 

ViaSport has been tasked by Minister Beare and the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture to coordinate the sport sector's return to play and to assist us in developing a proposal that adheres to public health guidelines specific to our sport. Once reviewed, ViaSport will submit these proposals for approval by the Office of the Provincial Health Officer. The process will ensure that our community is coordinated in its efforts to prioritize the health and safety of our athletes, staff and community. 

Below are some resources and documents that are important to Badminton players during the reopening times.

Here is the updated BC Restart Plan timeline for your reference.

Thank you for supporting Badminton BC during this season! We are giving back to our community during this time with a series of free online videos made in partnership with SJBC so that athletes can continue their training while maintaining proper social distancing through the safety of their own homes.
