From Campus to Court: WCC’s Badminton Tournament is Coming This July 4th

At Western Community College, we believe that a thriving campus community goes beyond the classroom. From social gatherings and wellness initiatives to seasonal celebrations and team-building events, WCC is constantly looking for ways to bring students, staff, and faculty together — because when people connect, great things happen. 

This summer, we’re taking things to the court. 

WCC Badminton Tournament — July 4, 2026 

We’re thrilled to announce the WCC Badminton Tournament, taking place on Saturday, July 4, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM at the Surrey Badminton Club (SBC), located at 19025 52 Ave, Surrey, BC. 

Whether you’re a competitive player with a killer smash or someone just looking for a fun, active day with colleagues, this tournament is designed for everyone. With events in Singles, Doubles, and Mixed Doubles — across skill categories — there’s a spot for every level of player. 

Every participant will walk away with a tournament souvenir T-shirt and refreshments to keep the energy up throughout the day. Shuttlecocks are also provided, so all you need to bring is your racket and your competitive spirit. Top finishers will be recognized with medals for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, and cash prizes for 1st and 2nd place — not a bad way to spend a long weekend! 

Sold Out — But Stay Tuned 

Registration was limited to 80 participants and has already reached capacity — a testament to just how enthusiastic our WCC community is when it comes to getting active and having fun together. If you missed out this time, don’t be discouraged. Events like this are a regular part of life at WCC, and there will be plenty more opportunities to get involved throughout the year. 

A Community That Plays Together 

The WCC Badminton Tournament is just one example of the many ways Western Community College invests in the well-being of its people. We firmly believe that a healthy, connected community — one that laughs, competes, and cheers each other on — is a stronger community in every sense of the word. 

From fitness challenges and cultural celebrations to volunteer opportunities and social events, WCC is always working to create experiences that go beyond academics and foster genuine belonging. Our staff and faculty are not just colleagues — they’re a community, and events like this one are a big part of what makes WCC such a special place to work and learn. 

Stay connected with WCC’s events calendar so you never miss the next opportunity to join in the fun. Whether it’s on the badminton court or somewhere else entirely, we’d love to see you there.
