Background
in 2002, 2
beautiful new squash courts were added onto the Bulkley Valley Regional
Pool in Smithers, BC. For the many squash enthusiasts in the Bulkley
Valley, it was a chance to dust off their old gear and get back out on
the courts again, while for others it was a chance to try a new sport.
The project was
made possible through the generosity of hundreds of businesses and
individuals throughout the community, and the vision and countless
numbers of volunteer hours spent fundraising and building the addition.
The Smithers
Squash Club was founded shortly after the courts opened. The club hosts
three tournaments each year. Traditionally the first tourney has been
held in mid-October, the second in mid-January, and the third in early
April.
Players from the
club also travel to tournaments all over BC, with a particular fondness
for tourneys in Prince Rupert, with whose club a budding rivalry and
great social relationship has developed.
We hope you’ll get out and play some squash! It’s a great game!
