IMBA Canada has just launched a new web site, IMBA Canada Events, where our Affiliate Clubs can post their upcoming events. It is in the rough stage now and there will be some tweaks to how the information is displayed but you can post events and see what’s coming up in your area. Feel free to promote this site to your members so they can see what’s going on too.
If you have suggestions on how we can improve this site please let me know.
