The RA Centre has the only dedicated badminton facility in the region and its six courts are considered by many to be the best in North America. The on court activities are supervised by Badminton Professional Mike Bitten, a certified coach who competed for Canada in the 1992 Olympic Games and who was a past Commonwealth Games silver medalist. Young or old, competitive or recreational, all badminton players have a place at the RA.

Logi,

How to join that? and what is the time that I can join. I call myself at a level around intermediate, but I haven't play regularly for quite a while already. May i join on some regular games?

well i don't live in the ottawa region but i have played there a couple of times.
yes i assume you could just join in. i don't see why you couldn't..
i suggest you call mike bitten and ask for some info.

i would definitly give him a call.

sorry..i don't know much more..

i went there for tournaments and stuff so i never had to pay..

hope you can get back to badminton as soon as possible!
