    I am from Vancouver but was out in Toronto last summer and I ended playing through the summer at George Brown College (downtown). I believed that they play Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. Tues/Thurs are 7 to 10 pm and Sundays are 2 pm to 8 pm.

    The coach at GBC, Kim Ng, runs the sessions and you have to provide your own feather birds. Drop in cost is $5.00 and I think it's $115 for the whole summer.

    Players there are okay and of different levels. Some of the better players are pretty snobbish but if you are at their level, Kim can arrange games with you. Apparently when I was there last summer, one of Canada's top men player came out to play.

    Good luck.

    I c.... I don't play feather though... :( I'm also sorta beginner level.... and I think someone told me George Brown was full so didn't take guests or something now.. (Might be wrong.. I dunno) Therefore, if I would probably have a hard time getting people to play with unless I go with someone :D
