WHO WE ARE
Pickleball Grey Highlands began as the initiative of six local Pickleball enthusiasts. An ad hoc steering committee was formed in early May 2023 under the leadership of Wayne Bumstead with the intent of creating a new model for the purpose of advancing the sport of Pickleball in Grey Highlands and the surrounding area. In just a few weeks, the steering committee succeeded in obtaining affiliated club status with Pickleball Canada and Pickleball Ontario.
The Club's membership is growing as word gets around and the many benefits of pickleball are being embraced. We are focused on the future of local pickleball for players of all ages. We intend to continue the work that has been started, to grow the game, in a fair, fun, safe way.
