- The Board confirmed the decision taken by e-mail that the participation at the World Team Championships be on a self-funded basis.
- The Board accepted unanimously the restructure of the HP Commission, which becomes the “National Team Committee”; and the ParaTT Committee, which becomes the “ParaTT Advisory Group”. The Phase-1 of committees’ restructure is complete, and Phase-2 will now start for the remaining committees.
- The “Bid Documents” for the 2023 Canadian Championships are prepared by the Technical Director and will be distributed to the member associations for bidding.
- The multiple defaults resulting in “walk-overs” at the 2022 Canadian Championships may be subject to an investigation.
