Canadian National Championships 2016 – Winnipeg

Hi Everyone,

First of all, apologies for not having kept up more in the last year. It’s been my busiest year yet, and I am quite the workaholic, apparently - although maybe I’m still in denial about that.

I wanted to point your attention to the RA Centre's Andrew D'Souza, Alex Bruce, and Liam Woodside for their performances thus far at the Canadian National Championships, here in wonderful-winter-wonderland-Winnipeg! Andrew will play the men's singles final today. Alex is in two finals, the mixed doubles and women's doubles. Finally, Liam is playing the 3/4 playoff, after having reached the semis in men's singles. The matches will be live-streamed on CBC's site, today (cancel all your plans!!!) at 1pm EASTERN standard time: http://www.cbc.ca/sports/broadcast and selecting: 2016 NATIONAL BADMINTON CHAMPIONSHIPS on CBC: 1:00 Winnipeg PM

The schedule of play will be as follows: 1. Starting at 1:00 pm WS [1] vs [2] (http://www.badminton.ca/sport/draw.aspx?id=42072DB5-3516-4BD9-96D0- A30EFE34FAFF&draw=2 ) 2.
