Players from across B.C. arrived in Vancouver this past weekend for the most prestigious senior’s tennis tournament of the year. Players and guests will enjoy a mix of tennis, hockey and Mexico at the tournament’s unique social evening. The event is sponsored by El Cid Real Estate and presented by Nesbitt Burns.
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -( June 7, 2011)- El Cid Senior Provincial Championships welcomed tennis players from across B.C. at Jericho Tennis Club on Saturday June 4th. 316 players over the age of 30 will compete through June 12th. The Tennis BC sanctioned tournament is the first of six Canadian events sponsored by El Cid Real Estate – a developer of luxury resorts and communities in Mexico.
Tennis BC CEO Ryan Clark noted the event is key to obtaining national ranking points. Top players will gain seeding for the August Senior National Championships in Toronto, and possibly go on to the Senior World Championships. “El Cid is honored to sponsor the BC Senior Provincials,” said Jorge Gomez Fernandez, Sales Director for El Cid Real Estate. “The El Cid Golf and Country Club in Mazatlan often hosts players from B.C.; and many American and Canadian residents of our gated community are avid tennis players. So it is very exciting to support this important Tennis BC event.”
The social evening will take place at Jericho on June 8th. It includes a Mexican themed dinner, a drink and live showing of the Bruins vs. Canucks hockey game. “There are many things to celebrate right now. The BC Senior Provincials are underway, the Canucks are in the Stanley Cup finals, and we have a sponsor that promotes Mexican lifestyles … so why not take advantage and have some fun with it,” said Lois Ker, Director of Events for Tennis B.C. Tickets for non-players are available at the tournament desk for $35.
El Cid will announce the additional tournament sponsorships early next week. The effort is part of the At Home in Mazatlan campaign supported by the Mexico Tourism Board since 2010. The campaign aims to promote recreational and retirement lifestyles in Mazatlan, Mexico. For information on tournaments hosted by El Cid in Mexico please visit www.athomeinmazatlan.com
