Us Today:

At the 2020 AGM, the last of the original PPG board of directors stepped away from their duties after several years of hard work in growing Pickleball in Halton Hills. Covid was is full swing again after a great summer of Pickleball play at Prospect Park.

In November 2020 after several discussions with the Town of Halton Hills, it was suggested that we rebrand our group and incorporate to make us eligible for the various government grants and funding available to Not-For Profit Corporations.

The new board decided to change our name from PPG (Pickleball Players Group) to Halton Hills Pickleball Association. The name change was to reflect the whole town, and the new logo was created to be more recognizable by the general public.

On Feb 12, 2021 we officially became the Halton Hills Pickleball Association and have dedicated ourselves to continue the hard work of growing Pickleball in our town.

Our History:

In October 2015, without a known available place to play in Halton Hills, a group of Pickleball converts looked
around for options of where to play this infectious game. We started by going to the Velodrome in Milton.
By January 2016, PPG (Pickleball Players Group, now a non-profit group), had very productive discussions with The Town of Halton Hills and agreed
to promote Pickleball in Halton Hills. Thanks to their assistance, and the support from the Georgetown Active Living
Centre, indoor playing time was secured at the Alliance Church (8th Line) gymnasium in Georgetown where play
continued until COVID-19 postponed indoor activities.

In May 2016, working with the Acton Active Living Centre, PPG started playing at the Acton Arena on Arena floor
‘A’ and marked out two Pickleball Courts with red tape. Before the season ended in late August, it became
necessary to add 2 more courts due to the demand of playing time.
After a very successful inaugural season in Acton, we expanded to 6 full-size courts on the Arena surface for the 2017 Summer
season. Indoor play also continued on the Arena surface at Mold-Masters Sports Plex in Georgetown.

Play continued in Georgetown and Acton during 2018 and 2019, with facilities being used at a variety of locations. In 2020, play was interrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Some locations were cancelled and most had some level of suspended play. The Board of Directors was diligent in finding available space, securing needed permits and assigned play at all facilities.
