Together, we’ll build on our shared successes and create even more memorable experiences both on and off the court. Thank you for being part of this journey.

The Board of Directors would like to share a few important updates with our community.

Peter Kho has stepped down from the Board and has relinquished his role as Vice-President. We extend our sincere and heartfelt thanks to Peter for his dedication and service over the past 11 months. During a period of significant transition for the organization, Peter generously contributed his time, expertise, and leadership, making a meaningful and lasting impact on Badminton BC.

At the December 17, 2025 Board meeting, Michael Diao was elected as Vice-President. The Board is also pleased to share that, effective January 1, 2026, Denise Jefferys will step into the role of Secretary, and Lisa Davison will take on the position of Director at Large.

We look forward to the leadership, energy, and experience they will bring to their new roles as we move into 2026.
