2013-2016 Action Plan

To increase its visibility, the Montreal Bridge League hired a communications firm specialized in the plural sector (non-profits and charities).

A comprehensive approach was taken late in 2012 to develop an action plan that would allow the League to carry out its mission while taking into account available resources. Implementing the plan requires considerable investments and depends on the sustained contribution of bridge players. In 2013, the Board of Directors allocated a budget to carry out the plan.

Actions planned for 2015 and 2016

  • Continue to organize tournaments and bridge activities for the current and future bridge players;
  • Renew MBL’s image and redesign the website;
  • Improve collaboration actions with leisure organizations and associations;
  • Ensure the presence of an MBL official spokesperson to special events;
  • Pursue actions to reach and encourage new players, take an active part in the Loto-Québec’s World Games Event;
