As summer progresses, we are relieved by further loosening of restrictions at our club and around the City. Thank you to our membership for your patience as we continually update and adjust our Covid policies.
At this time, masks are now optional for outdoor wear. Please continue to keep a 2m distance to other non-household members and continue to ensure your on-line booking names are accurate for adequate contact tracing. Our table seating can now accommodate up to 6 people per able or area. At this time, no adjustments are required to our on-court programming.
As of Thursday July 22nd, the club house will be officially open for member use and seating. Please keep your mask on while inside, and note the maximum of 10 people indoors, to reduce congestion. Eating and drinking will still be encouraged outdoors only.
Beginning July 26th, our hard courts will be closed for 1-2 weeks, weather dependant, for repair and resurfacing. This will be a welcome addition to our club, as the cracks have become significant in the last couple of years. During this time, clay courts are available for members, and some lessons and clinics will be scheduled on court 4 to accommodate membership needs. We look forward to fresh hard courts for August!
Starting August 9th is a brand-new session of clinics for adults. Take advantage of exceptional coaching to enhance your game play with Zhenya and Dan. There are clinics for all levels and abilities. Please click here for details.
Finally, to our wonderful membership: enjoy our beautiful outdoor facility and healthy, friendly environment. It has been terrific to see so many members enjoying our club this summer and reengaging with old and new tennis friends. It’s great to be back.
Stay well,
Louise Malhotra
President RLTC

A group of campers show their eggs which remained un-cracked during our egg drop challenge! Even when it rains, its never a boring camp day at RLTC. |

Thank you to Tia, Carol, Ghassan, Carina & Alexi Sharara who hosted an incredibly successful Lebanese themed evening last Wednesday. Tia's family gave up their day to prepare, grill, serve and share their homemade cuisine. The food was delicious and we were able to accommodate extra members in the end, even a few doggie bags! Many members who missed out were lucky enough to try some of the leftover Namoura dessert in the days after.
We're planning next weeks BBQ over the next few days and will announce details shortly. Stay tuned!

Our awning broke last night under the pressure of heavy rain. We are currently in the midst of repairing the unit. Thank you to Paul Bernier and Gill Kirkwood who came in to save the day by removing the brackets, also to our clubhouse attendant Morgan Wark who managed to use the opportune time to give it a good scrub down!
