On behalf of the WFTDA Board of Directors, Officers, and staff, I am excited to welcome you to the first WFTDA Championships to be held in Canada! Bienvenue et entrons dans l'histoire !
Once again, the WFTDA will be hosting non-stop, nail-biting games and teams from all around the world in a truly dynamic show of athleticism, drive, and passion for the sport of roller derby. And as the visionary Maya Angelou once said “Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take but by the moments that take your breath away.” And we know these games will make you hold your breathe!
This sport makes a positive impact every day in many individuals lives and as we come together at these events, our presence as a whole, in the hosting communities can create a positive, lasting and strong influence on the regions we gather in. Our community of fans, announcers, skaters, coaches, photographers, volunteers, and officials make the sport and the world a better place for everyone. Together we are Real, Strong, Revolutionary, Athletic.
Take the time to say salut and merci to our amazing hosts, Montréal Roller Derby, and all of their volunteers, without them none of this would be possible.
Bienvenue et à bientôt aux jeux !
