THUNDER BAY — Members of the tennis community are optimistic this will be the final winter without year-round courts in the city.
It’s been a long time coming, said Jamie Grieve, the former long-time club pro who has been among the group working for years to advance the project. The project will see six newly constructed courts to the north of the existing tennis centre footprint, which will be covered with a dome. Tennis Canada, which had dignitaries present on Monday, has also pledged $200,000 through a partnership with Rogers to expand year-round court access across Canada.
“We need tennis to be able to be played year-round. It’s a sport that is for all ages, all stages, all communities and so this is a step to make that dream a reality.”“It’s just a huge effort to have over $3.5 million to get this thing built,” Grieve said. “As soon as we get our agreements finished with the city, we can go ahead with really planning to get this thing done this summer.”
