The 1988 BCE Canadian Masters was a professional ranking snooker tournament, that was held from 26 October to 5 November 1988 at the Minkler Auditorium, Toronto, Canada.[4] This was the first and only year the event was held as a ranking event. All preliminary rounds were played in the UK and only the last 32 players travelled to Canada.[5]
Jimmy White won the tournament by defeating Steve Davis nine frames to four in the final.[6][7]
As of 2025 it remains the only ranking event to take place in North America.[8]
