Positive takeaways despite cancellation of Canadian Masters Badminton Championships

Despite the cancellation, Davison is urging future event organizers to make use of the resources here locally, especially Tourism PG, who made Davison aware of several grant opportunities to aid in shrinking the overhead costs.

In the three years leading up to the tournament, they were able to secure startup funding from the City of Prince George, as well as marketing funds from the Northern Development Initiative Development Trust.

“That allowed us to create two promotional videos by a local company here in town, and we were also able to create a promotional pamphlet that we actually launched and distributed both of those at the 2019 championship,” said Davison.

The organizing committee also received funding from both the Province and Federal Governments.

While the event won’t be taking place in Prince George anytime soon, Davison says there was a lot of positive takeaways. The assistance from Tourism PG brought forth funding opportunities that Davison wouldn’t have otherwise known about.

“Those takeaways would be to use that planning time, work with Tourism Prince George [because] they’re on the pulse of other events going on in town.”
