Calgary Pickleball Club

We are responding to the rising COVID-19 spread by implementing stronger mandatory and voluntary public health measures in Calgary and surrounding areas. These ...targeted measures took effect on Friday, November 13: 1. Fitness group classes and team sports must stop until November 27. This does not include outdoor sports, individual sports, individual exercises, training or equipment use. Gyms are not required to close. This also doesn’t apply to junior, university or professional sports. 2. Group performances, such as singing, dancing and theatre must cease until November 27. This doesn’t apply to professional performance venues. These additional measures are in effect in all regions under an enhanced status. 3. All restaurants, bars, lounges and pubs in these regions must cease liquor sales by 10 p.m. and close by 11 p.m. until November 27. 4. Maximum attendance of 50 at wedding or funeral ceremonies. 5. All faith-based activities are recommended to limit attendance to one-third capacity per service. 6. Residents should not hold social gatherings within their home and should not plan social gatherings outside their community. 7. Employers in office settings are recommended to implement measures to reduce the number of employees in the workplace at one time. We are asking all Albertans to do their part. If these measures are not successful, it will be necessary to implement more restrictive measures. For more information visit: https://www.alberta.ca/enhanced-public-health-measures.aspx

Kirk Jensen, President of Pickleball Alberta was interviewed on the confusion of guidance announcements. On CTV News tonight at 6:00 pm.

To all CPC members. New Provincial COVID 19 restrictions have banned indoor team sports and leagues until November 27th. This means many indoor facilities offering pickleball are either closing or cancelling private bookings. This will impact CPC cohorts who are playing at the West Hillhurst Community Association (WHCA) and the Junior Varsity Volleyball Centre (JVC). This will also affect other CPC members who are booking their own court times at private facilities. Pleas...e contact the venue to confirm how the new restrictions affect you or your cohort. A ban on indoor team sports or leagues, including pickleball, is in effect from November 13 to November 27th. https://www.alberta.ca/enhanced-public-health-measures.aspx The Calgary Pickleball Club will be monitoring all future health announcements and keep you informed when the restrictions are changed or lifted.

WHCA Coordinators Pass the Paddle The Calgary Pickleball Club would like to recognize Marianne and Bob Wingfield for all their work running the CPC pickleball program at WHCA. They have volunteered with CPC for over 4 years and have held the role of West Hillhurst CPC Venue Coordinators for 3 years. Under their leadership, the pickleball program at WHCA is the most popular and successful in the City. Marianne and Bob have decided to pass the torch, or the paddle, and spen...d more time with their family, especially their grandchildren. The CPC Board and all the WHCA hosts, mentors, volunteers and players want to thank them for their time, effort and dedication. They will be sadly missed. We didn’t realize how much they did for CPC and for the West Hillhurst pickleball program until it came time to find replacements. In fact, it has taken 3 people to fill their shoes! We want to welcome Gordon Campbell as the new Venue Manager. Nancy Mah is the new Scheduler and Sharon Wilcott is the new Host Coordinator. The CPC Board presented Bob and Marianne with a gift to show our appreciation for their work and we will continue to support Gordon, Nancy and Sharon as they coordinate pickleball at WHCA in this very challenging time.

It's been a great summer with lots of Free pickleball. A big THANK YOU to all the volunteer hosts that made this possible! Hope you like your CPC knapsacks. They are exclusive for CPC Volunteers only.
