At last! A new website for the BCTTA! Our goal for the new website is to recreate the conditions that existed in the 1970’s where two BCTTA publications, LeTTers and News, informed and engaged readers from all over the province every two months on all the latest table tennis news and events. Fast forward from analog newsletters to the realm of the internet where our new website can instantly engage and inform readers world wide and at a fraction of the cost!
Dr. Chandra Madhosingh, a giant in the world of Canadian table tennis has died at age 85.

The BCTTA remembers those who we have recently lost: members, players, officials, and volunteers who have made significant contributions to table tennis in BC and beyond. You are in our hearts and will never be forgotten.
