Everyone was rewarded with a free 2026 Guest Pass, plus plenty of coffee, donuts, and camaraderie. John SILVA surprised everyone with a marzipan-filled Stollen that disappeared in no time.

Several members took the opportunity to renew their memberships for 2026, by tapping and paying on our new Interac  terminal.

We wrapped up the morning with a fun round-robin--thank you to all who helped get the club ready for the winter tennis season!

You Can Help Keep YWTC Smoke-Free

  • The Smoke-Free Ontario Act prohibits smoking within 20 meters of sporting areas, playgrounds, play areas, and spectator areas next to sporting areas.
  • Violators face a fine of up to $5000.
  • These restrictions apply to tobacco, cannabis (medical & recreational) as well as vaping or electronic cigarettes.
  • If bothered by smoke while on the court, DO NOT ENGAGE with the offender(s).
  • Dial 416.808.2222 to file a complaint with TPS.
  • Be sure to send a follow-up note to [email protected] with the date & time of the incident. 
  • Do not expect immediate results.
  • With a list of our filed complaints, our City Councillor will be able to request TPS to step up their patrols of the Weston Lions Park.
  • Do not dial 911, as this number is strictly for emergency use only.
