The proposed Windermere Table Tennis Court moved a big step forward towards becoming a reality on May 2 with a $45,000 grant from Health Minister Adrian Dix. Vancouver’s first and only dedicated outdoor table tennis court is the brainchild of Windermere PE department head Brad White, a tennis, squash and table tennis enthusiast and teacher behind the newly constructed Windermere Community Fitness Park (WCFP). Construction will begin soon, and the table tennis court will open sometime this summer.
