Everyone Can Play Gala

Introduced on May 15, 2024, as a new program run by the OSTEN & VICTOR Alberta Tennis Centre in partnership with Tennis Canada, it will aim to improve participation and enjoyment of tennis throughout all local communities.

About The Program

Everyone Can Play Program which is a barrier-free program developed and operated by the OSTEN & VICTOR Alberta Tennis Centre. The program will aim to improve accessible and inclusive participation in tennis at the community-level.

Everyone Can Play Tennis Program is a diverse and equitable tennis program for new and under resourced Canadians in Calgary. Our strategy focuses on diverse communities in Calgary with the potential to expand to other markets and needs across Canada. Tennis provides an optimal environment for new Canadians to learn skills, improve physical health, develop cultural understandings, and make social connections.

The Calgary National Bank Challenger will team up with Working for More Health Equity (WFMH) to deliver a pro-tennis exhibition, gala and pro-am tennis event, which aims to raise funds to support OSTEN & VICTOR Alberta Tennis Centre’s Everyone Can Play Program. The program of events will be held on October 11 & 12, 2024 at the OSTEN & VICTOR Alberta Tennis Centre.
