Badminton BC has partnered with the Canadian Women & Sport to implement the Gender Equity Playbook.  The Gender Equity Playbook provides a collaborative review and assessment of sport organizations’ policies, programs, and practices through a gender equity lens. Badminton BC is very excited to participate in this initiative with an action plan to encourage girls and women to start and maintain playing in sport. The first step is to build a Gender Equity Team.  This is a "call out" for interest to join.  To learn more, understand the time commitment and what is expected, join our info session  7:00 PM Tuesday, July 8, 2025.

"Lucinda (Cindy) Simpson"

It is with deep sadness that Badminton BC announces the passing of Lucinda (Cindy) Simpson—a long-time champion of the sport and tireless advocate for communities and participants of all ages in British Columbia. Cindy was a passionate and dedicated leader, advocating for badminton communities across the province with strength and commitment through her many years on the Badminton BC Board. Her love for the sport extended far beyond governance—she was a true embodiment of the active for life philosophy. Her last competition was at the 2024 Canadian Masters Nationals, a fitting reflection of her lifelong involvement in the game. Cindy with her husband John made their home in Campbell River for 50 years. Her children started in the local badminton scene in the 1970s or 1980s. She was instrumental in building both junior and adult clubs. For decades, she was the driving force behind the Campbell River Badminton Club.
