The SHSAA Senior regional badminton championship was held in Maple Creek on Saturday, May 3. Thanks to Tyson Krause, Curtise Clement and Shawn Buss for hosting the event. Each event was one pool with six competitors. The top two after the round robin advanced to SHSAA provincials in Estevan on May 10.
