Dear Tam Heather Curling and Tennis Members,
Well… just like that, another great season is in the books (seriously, where did that go?). As we shift gears toward summer, I want to give a big welcome to all of our new members. Whether you joined us on the ice this winter or are about to hit the courts, we’re so glad you’re part of the Tam Heather community.
To our Curlers—what a season! Thank you for bringing the energy, competition, and good spirit week in and week out. From big shots to “almost had it” moments (we’ve all been there), it’s the people and the atmosphere that make this place special. We hope you had a fantastic season and we’re already looking forward to seeing you back out there next year.
To our Tennis members—get ready, because summer at Tam is just around the corner! The courts are waiting, the rallies are coming, and yes… your serve will absolutely improve this year (no promises, but we believe in you).
On the curling side, we’ve got some exciting improvements lined up for next season. We’ll be installing two new heaters in the arena to help our ice team with controlled melts and—equally important—keep everyone a little warmer out there. We’re also adding new TV monitors at the far end and cameras at the home end to enhance the overall experience. Feel free to admire the upgrades… just not while your skip is calling your next shot. Pace of play still matters!
Facility upgrades are coming your way! We’ve got a brand-new audio-visual system in the upper lounge and out on the ice, which means we can now separate zones for announcements and even rock out with full Bluetooth capability. The new projector and drop-down screen will be a huge upgrade for all of our events and functions—goodbye blurry slides, hello cinematic glory!
On the roof front, we’ll be tackling some blistering areas around the arena perimeter. Think of it as a pre-emptive strike against any rogue leaks trying to crash the party on our precious curling ice. Because let’s face it… speed bumps are no fun for anyone.
At the end of the day, Tam Heather is about more than Curling rocks or Tennis rallies—it’s about community. It’s the laughs, the friendships, and the moments that keep people coming back year after year. If you’re new, don’t be shy—jump in, say hello, and make the most of it. The Tam Fam is a pretty great group to be part of.
A big thank you, as always, to our Board of Directors, our incredible Tam Team, and of course Damiano and Neil in the kitchen—keeping everyone well fed and happy. We couldn’t do it without you.
Enjoy the summer ahead, and we’ll see you on the courts soon—and back on the ice before you know it.
Jason Leneeuw - General Manager
