The 2014 Canadian Masters Open Badminton Championships were held the week of April 20 to 26 2014 in Burlington Ontario at the brand new state of the art Haber Centre
The Mayor of Burlington along with the City Manager, the Manager of Tourism and the local councillor (John Taylor who used to play Badminton) were all in attendance and quite visible - some very good publicity and sponsorship was very evident.
