What an incredible time we had at our TT4ALL event in Fort Simpson! Over 20 enthusiastic participants from several different communities came together for a weekend filled with learning, fun, and friendly competition.
The event kicked off with an introduction to the rules of Table Tennis, followed by engaging activities and games designed to enhance skills and foster teamwork. Participants had the opportunity to learn new drills and techniques, culminating in exciting Table Tennis tournaments that showcased their hard work and dedication.
Bob Howard, the 2023 Canada Games Team NT Coach, expressed his excitement about the event, stating, “I had a good time. Everyone was friendly, keen, and very sportsmanlike. It was a pleasant experience, and the improvement was remarkable.” His positive feedback highlights the spirit of camaraderie and growth that defined the weekend.
One of the most exciting legacies of this event is the collaboration with the Speed Skating group, which will now be incorporating off-ice sessions with Table Tennis. This partnership could potentially lead to the establishment of a new Table Tennis club in Fort Simpson, further supporting the growth of the sport in the community.
A huge thank you to the Government of the Northwest Territories and the Mackenzie Recreation Association for supporting this adventure to Fort Simpson.
We are already looking forward to our next TT4ALL event and all the opportunities it will bring for participants to develop their skills, make new friends, and enjoy the wonderful game of Table Tennis. Stay tuned for more updates and get ready to join us for another fantastic experience!
