REPRESENTING CANADA
Opportunities to represent Canada
The CBF Junior Program provides mentoring and coaching to develop interested junior players, with the purpose of selecting teams to represent Canada in the biennial World Youth Team Championships, and occasionally the World University Bridge Championship.
The teams representing Canada in these events are chosen by a selection committee from players who are registered in the Junior Program.
Players are selected based on their demonstrated commitment to learning and practice, as well as their bridge capabilities.
★
Teams representing Canada at these world championships may be subsidized or partially subsidized by the CBF.
