In March when we announced that the Canadian Championships and Junior Canadian Championships were being cancelled, there was still hope that a fall event could be held to determine the 2020 Canadian Singles and Doubles Champions.<\/p>\n
In light of the ongoing impact of COVID-19, the Board of Directors, with the recommendation from the High Performance Committee, has decided that this is not possible. This means that for the first time In Canadian Racquetball history no Canadian Champions will be crowned.<\/p>\n
