Walter Knecht, President of PICKLEBALLBC today announced:
"After a period of incubation PICKLEBALLBC is rolling out two grant programs. First is one aimed at the youth sector, primarily under the age of 18. The other is to benefit a more seasoned demographic that may be struggling getting pickleball established. Additional details can be found here. From memory we have money in our 2021 budgets available for the Youth Grant Program. In any case - check the details and make plans to expand pickleball in your area with a little seed funding from PICKLEBALLBC." The City of Colwood is creating Park Management Plans for Colwood Creek, Lookout Lake, and Ocean View Parks! The Park Management Plans will help guide future park amenity upgrades, environmental considerations, and recreational use. The Westshore would appear to hold the best hope, in the CRD, for a pickleball complex. A number of pickleball players are thinking that Colwood Creek Park may be the answer. To support this view please complete the Colwood Creek Park questionnaire.
On October 4th the future of the Tolmie Park courts came before Saanich Council, to provide direction to Parks planning staff. The result here.
