Fort Providence, NT — Table Tennis North is thrilled to announce the official opening of its new Territorial Training Centre, now located at the former curling rink, just behind the Youth Centre.

This new space offers an ideal setting for expanding Table Tennis in the community and across the Territory. With increased room, improved accessibility, and central location, the facility is perfectly positioned to welcome more participants, from beginners to competitive athletes.

The Centre will serve as the home base for the Fort Providence Table Tennis Club and host a variety of training sessions, tournaments, and community events throughout the year.

“This is more than just a training space, it’s a place to grow the sport, build confidence, and bring people together through movement and fun,” said Thorsten Gohl, Executive Director of Table Tennis North.

Table Tennis North extends its heartfelt thanks to the Sport North Community Facility Enhancement Program (CFEP) for their support in making this vision a reality.

April 23 marks World Table Tennis Day, and here in the North, we’re not just celebrating — we’re rallying.

Across the Northwest Territories, table tennis isn’t just a sport. It’s a meeting place. It’s a reason to come together. It’s a spark in the middle of winter and a laugh shared across a table, even when it’s minus 40 outside.

This year’s global theme — “Diversity and Inclusion” — feels especially fitting for us in the North. From the smallest communities to growing clubs in regional hubs, Table Tennis North is proud to support programs that make sport accessible, joyful, and deeply rooted in community values. Whether it’s youth trying their first backhand, Elders sharing stories between rallies, or coaches traveling hundreds of kilometers to teach the game — we see what connection really looks like.

This year, we’ve seen table tennis:

• Played on gym floors, school stages, and outdoor slabs in every season
• Used as a tool for mental wellness, youth leadership, and cultural exchange
• Bring together athletes from Fort Good Hope to Fort Smith, building friendships and futures

And today, on World Table Tennis Day, we say thank you. To the players. The volunteers. The community leaders. The parents who drive. The youth who show up early. The Elders who encourage. The teachers who say “yes” to trying something new. You are the heartbeat of this sport in the North.

We may be small in number, but we are mighty in passion.

So wherever you are reading this — in a school, at home, or out on the land — we invite you to grab a paddle, find a table (or make one), and celebrate the power of play.

Happy World Table Tennis Day from all of us at Table Tennis North.
Together, we’re building something beautiful, one rally at a time.

The Table Tennis Club in Fort Smith is officially up and running at the Recreation Centre, and the community is buzzing with excitement! This long-awaited initiative is set to bring together Table Tennis enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels.

Lesley Paulette has been the driving force behind this project, dedicating years of hard work to make it a reality. Lesley has previously assisted with officials’ clinics, participated in the 2024 55+ Games for Table Tennis, and organized the Prince Table Tennis fundraiser a few years back. Her passion for the game is evident, and she is eager to share it with the community.

Someone, Lesley, is sharing her excitement. “I am so excited to see this finally getting off the ground in our community. Table Tennis is an amazing sport that everyone can play and it’s so much fun. There are opportunities for young people to develop their skills and even try out for the Arctic Winter Games. And for old people like me it keeps our bodies and our minds active. What’s not to love about that?!”

The club will utilize legacy tables from the Arctic Winter Games to facilitate sessions for both adults and youths. Adult sessions will take place on Mondays from 7:00 to 8:30 PM, while youth sessions will be held on Fridays from 6:30 to 8:00 PM. For those who don’t have their own equipment yet, rackets and balls will be provided, just bring your enthusiasm!

Emily Prescott, Recreation & Special Events Coordinator “I’m excited to introduce table tennis to Fort Smith and help grow the sport. My vision for this initiative is to open doors to new opportunities, not only for local players but also for surrounding communities. I hope to establish Fort Smith as a hub for table tennis, where players of all skill levels can come together and build meaningful connections.”

The official opening of the Table Tennis Club will take place on April 25th at the Recreation Centre in the Foyer from 6:30 to 8:00 PM. This event promises to be a fantastic opportunity for community members to come together, learn about the sport, and meet fellow table tennis enthusiasts.
