Quidditch Canada will be hosting five major events across five cities this fall, including the return of a national championship for the first time since 2019.
The Eastern Divisional tournament in Cornwall – a first – will feature teams from across eastern Ontario and Quebec.
“We’re really excited to be selected to host a Quidditch Canada event for the first time in Cornwall,” said Kevin Lajoie, Tourism Officer with the City of Cornwall. “Over the past several years, Cornwall has established itself as a preferred host site for major sporting events and conferences. The Quidditch Canada Eastern Divisionals further solidifies that.”
Quidditch is mirrored on the fictional sport from the popular Harry Potter fantasy book series. Gameplay is similar to the description in the books however the sport has been adapted to suit real-world constraints.
