Great news!

In the past, Valer Demian who is involved in youth coaching also expressed interest.

Since you are the one who will be the primary point of contact for this I would say that it is up to you. Christina Tao and Victoria Doknjas would be two of my suggestions who have recently been...

That is also a possible way forward.



Not always. It really depends on where the tournament is held and whether we use Canadian or international coaches and whether the coaches are FIDE...

The point of this agenda item is that a significant amount of executive time is absorbed by the youth portfolio. With the WYCC split into two tournaments our expenses have gone up significantly (and...

Given that the work that needs to be done is getting done, I tend to agree but I am open minded on the idea.

There has been a bit of a reset with a new youth coordinator but I have noticed that there is a great deal of consultation with a group of parents. Parents are more involved though I don't see a...
