The Sunshine Project 2015
This Spring the OTA in partnership with Wilmington Tennis and Pine Point Tennis Club are thrilled to re-launch the The Sunshine Project in the Jane and Finch and Rexdale neighbourhoods. The purpose of this project is to increase the use of public tennis courts and overcome barriers to our sport for low-income families. In 2014 the project reached 278 kids out of our target of 300 between the ages of 6 - 12. This year the team aspires to reach the maximum number of participants.
In 2015 the project will operate at Beaumonde Heights Park, Hullmar Park, Stanley Park and Chalkfarm Park. Program fees are based on a sliding scale
modeled after Toronto’s Welcome Policy, whereby mid and high income parents are asked to pay a larger portion of the projects per-child cost.
The project strives to provide top-notch quality lessons that are fun and educational, in hopes that even after the project is finished the families will continue playing at their local parks.
You will be able to view coaches and their young tennis players at the parks beginningApril 13th, 2015. For more information, please visit www.sunshinetennisproject.com.
