The monthly dose of bad news that loves you from Uranus and back.

Western Cup 42

The Western Cup 42 badminton tournament was a smashing success over the Easter long weekend. We had an almost capacity turnout of 23 teams in a full day of competition. We held the event for the first time at Crescent Heights High School which enabled us to run more matches and have comfortable spectator seating. We welcomed about half of all registrants who made the long drive from Edmonton and St. Albert to spend the long weekend with us! Thanks again to all the volunteers who helped us deliver our biggest event of the year.

We also like to thank Red Bull Canada as a Hospitality Sponsor at the event.

We hope you’ll join us again next year!

Season Ending

As we are entering the final month of the 2025-26 season, this is a friendly reminder that all prepaid and complimentary passes expire after the last session in May. As always, all our passes are shareable and transferable. So take this great opportunity to share the joy of badminton with your friends and family.

To those who are looking to get more involved with our club, keep you eyes open for our Annual General Meeting announcement, which will be held in August. Our new 2026-27 season resumes in September.

Mosaic Merch Market

We are excited to announce that the Mosaic Merch Market has come online! While we are working on exciting bespoke brand products that will eventually fill the store, the soft opening of our online store currently features overstock items that support your active lifestyle. Come pick up these clearance items while supplies last.

Did you know?

A drastic change is coming to badminton as the top governing body of the sport has adopted change in the scoring system effective from 2027. The Badminton World Federation (BWF) has voted late last month to approve the so-called 3×15 scoring system with games played to 15 points. The new scoring system will come into effect in January 2027. The change has been in the making in the last couple of year to “deliver more exciting and competitive badminton, improved scheduling, more consistent match durations, and potential benefits for player welfare and recovery.” What do you think of this change?
