To CFC board of directors
I would like to find out if are any intentions to organize this tournament in 2011. After repeated public tries to contact Women’s Coordinator I still have no answers others then those listed underneath.
Another fact that I would like to mention is that there were no Canadian representative at 2011 Pan-american Women Championships, it was no inquiry from CFC if any of the qualified players would like to participate.

"I have a plan to submit Women closed championship 2011 bid combine with Canadian girl chess championship."

"Yes, I agree with you that Canadian female players need more representation in CFC. Just put down the CYCC 2011 bid. I can not determine the date yet since we need to know Pan American and North American date first. As usual it happens end of August, I will try to organize this event for next year. Thank you for your any suggestion."

"BTW: Canadian Girl Chess Championship will hold in Easter Day,I am the one who co-operate organizer for public interest. So Andrei Botez better do something for public interest instead to complain someone really busy with CYCC issues too. I am away in vacation can not answer in chess talk, hope those people can read."
Just a short answer to the last paragraph: I volunteer for public interest in average of 4 to 10 hours a week (75% of this time is junior chess related). I am not complaining, I am respectfully inquire the responsible (even really busy) CFC Officer.
