With shuttles reaching speeds as high as 565 kph, badminton attracts more than 220 million people worldwide to play the sport weekly, making badminton the second most participated-in sport in the world. Badminton Canada works to grow the game across the country through events, coaching and officials’ development, and developing programs such as Shuttletime. In Canada, over 2 million people

Badminton Canada sanctioned events are part of a comprehensive program to develop players and event hosting capabilities across the country. Each year Badminton Canada, working with communities across the country, hosts 20 events designated international, or national in sanctioning.
