Are you competitive? Do you have what it takes to win a medal?

It has been more than a dozen of years since there was a badminton tournament at Western Cup. Over the Easter long weekend in 2024, our friends at Western Cup will be celebrating their 40th edition of the longest running LGBTQ+ multi-sport event in North America.

We can make this an even grander celebration by bringing back the badminton tournament to the sport festival! We are working with our friends at Team Edmonton to help make this a reality. But first, we would like to hear from you. So please complete this quick survey by October 31 to help us gauge interest within our community and shape this into a tournament you want. Beyond the survey, you can also email us directly at bdmntnyyc @ gmail . com (without the spaces), or fill out the contact form at the bottom our page.

Again, the survey link is:
