Hellena was appointed as a Director in May of 2020. Hellena has been involved in badminton since the
age of 13. She started off as a competitive junior player in Alberta and has remained an active competitive
recreational player. The sport has for the most part, played a significant role in her life and this is no more
evident than now. Currently, Hellena has a son who also competes and trains in the sport. As a result, her
involvement in the sport has expanded. In 2016, she and other badminton parents formed a badminton
parents committee with Hellena being the president. The primary purpose of this committee was to raise
funds for the young players to offset the costly badminton expense. She remained as president until 2018.
Since then, she moved to Vancouver and has continued to be active as both a player and supporter.


Rodney Scollard (Whistler, BC)


Rodney was appointed as a Director in March of 2020. Rodney currently is a lawyer with WorkSafeBC

paper industries. In his spare time, he enjoys a multitude of sports and outdoor pursuits, having played
competitive sport, including semi-professional and varsity soccer when he was younger. He has played
badminton since his youth and continues to play recreationally today on a regular basis at local clubs.


Suzanne Hrynyk, RN, BAADV., MHSC (New Westminster, BC)
