Local tennis players are being asked to help bring an indoor tennis facility to the Comox Valley.
“We are excited to tell you about an opportunity that will bring us a gigantic step forward towards our goal of building an indoor tennis facility in the Comox Valley that will serve North Vancouver Island,” said Brenda Dean of the North Island Regional Tennis Society.
Kraft Project Play is awarding $250,000 to a Canadian community that is looking to strengthen their community through building places for people to play. Kraft is particularly interested in communities intending to build spaces to play tennis, Dean notes
“This opportunity is one we cannot pass up and we will need the help of supporters like you to help us achieve this goal.
“The North Island Regional Tennis Society’s (NIRTS) submission needs to tell the story of why this indoor tennis facility is so important to the North Island and what makes the North Island such a deserving candidate to receive this $250,000 prize,” said Dean.
“There are two ways you can assist NIRTS’ efforts to secure this prize:
1. By offering your opinion on the following:
a. What sets the Comox Valley/North Vancouver Island’s passion and spirit for sport and active living, apart from other communities?
b. What impact would the indoor tennis facility have on our community?
2. By sending in photos demonstrating the love people have for tennis in our community.
Please send your thoughts and photos to jennsnave@hotmail.ca by Friday June, 5.
“Once we have our submission into Kraft we will be looking to the tennis community to assist us in getting people out to vote – so watch for updates. Thank you for your outstanding support,” Dean said.
