HAY RIVER, N.W.T. — The Canadian Table Tennis Championships scheduled for Sept. 22-24 in Hay River, N.W.T., have been cancelled due to the ongoing wildfire situation in the territory, Table Tennis North announced.
In light of the cancellation, Table Tennis North says its organizing committee plans to make a proposal to Table Tennis Canada to host the event next year.Wildfires have run rampant through tens of thousands of square kilometres in the Northwest Territories, forcing the government to declare a state of emergency last week and residents of the capital city, Yellowknife, and Hay River, near the Alberta border, to flee.
“While Table Tennis North and its partners are very disappointed to have to cancel this event, we believe this decision is in the best interest of everyone,” said Marny Twigge, vice president, Table Tennis North. “It is indeed devastating to witness the havoc caused by the wildfires, and we hope everyone is keeping safe and in good health.”
