The day that Sandra Fraser attained the rank of Grand Life Master (GLM) there were 3 other GLMs playing at the Monterey Bridge Club in Victoria, BC to help her celebrate. All are Canadian Champions!

Victoria’s bridge scene is vibrant. The two local bridge clubs running ACBL games are popular. The Monterey Bridge Club, under the direction of Nicole Dupuis, is flourishing post-pandemic with between 16 – 23 tables twice a week.
Greater Victoria has a population of 400,000 and now boasts 7 Grand Life Masters!
These include Doug Fraser, Rhonda Foster, Gerry McCully, Duncan H. Smith, Michael J. Roche, James McAvoy (Aug 2022), and Sandra Fraser (Feb 2023).
Congratulations, Sandra and Jim, Victoria’s newest Grand Life Masters!
