THE
CANADIAN BRIDGE FEDERATION
LA FEDERATION CANADIENNE DE BRIDGE
The
Canadian Bridge Federation (CBF) is a Canada-wide bridge organization
recognized by the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) and the
World Bridge Federation (WBF). Canadians purchase membership in
the CBF along with ACBL dues. Or, Canadian bridge players may purchase
a CBF membership separate from the ACBL.
The
CBF organizes and runs three multi-level national events: the Canadian
Open Pairs Championships (COPC); the Canadian National Team Championships
(CNTC); and the Canadian Women's Team Championships (CWTC). These
events begin at the 'grassroots' level and, through a variety of
playdowns, eventually designate teams and pairs to represent Canada
in international competition.

As
well, the CBF runs the Helen Shields Rookie Master Trophy event,
The Erin Berry Rookie-Master Pairs, the CBF Charity Fund, the Junior
Development Fund, the Erin Berry Memorial Fund for Youth, and publishes
a magazine (Bridge Canada) two times a year.
