Lorna Duquette (Bradford)
President
I have been playing badminton since I was young. As an adult I continued to compete both regionally and provincially but now tend to play recreationally. I am a member of the Bradford Badminton Club and enjoy the fun and friendships that it has brought me.
My badminton involvement also includes other administrative roles as I've been a past Board Member for Badminton Ontario and have taken on Lead Organising positions with Badminton Canada and their international events. Badminton is certainly a lifelong sport!

I’ve been playing badminton and following the sport for over 15 years. I’m a nerd when it comes to the sport. Aside from playing badminton recreationally, I also compete in multiple tournaments throughout the year. I working on getting my coaching certification and I also run the Barrie Badminton Club.

Mary Parsons (Banting)
Treasurer
Badminton is a fantastic lifelong sport! I have been playing and coaching for decades at the Banting club and more recently, at the Alliston badminton club. I competed provincially and nationally when I was younger. I have just started playing again for fun and look forward to more competitive events. See you on the courts!

Muoi Truong
Board Member at Large
I currently play recreationally out of the Alliston Badminton Club and coach at the New Tecumseth Kid's Badminton Club, a fun-first, grassroots elementary age program. Having played since elementary school , I consider myself 'one of Grummett's badminton kids' ( IFYKYK). Badminton was a foundational sport for me, culminating in OFSAA appearance’s for both Badminton and Wrestling, while also playing Rugby. Muoi continues to enjoy Badminton as a sport that balances fitness, intellect, competition and community.
