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.

Join us in celebrating the launch of the Fort Smith Table Tennis Club and be part of this exciting new chapter in our community!

Another year, another unforgettable adventure at Snowking’s Winter Festival! This year’s event was filled with epic Table Tennis matches and laughter-filled moments, making every second a blast. We can’t wait for next year!

The festival brought together over 50 school kids and Table Tennis friends from all over the world, including participants from China, Japan, and Europe. It was a true celebration of the sport and community!

One of the most heartwarming stories came from a family visiting from Hungary. After reading about the Table Tennis activities at the ice castle, they decided to shift their travel plans to ensure they could join us. It’s amazing how the universe works in funny ways sometimes!

Team NT athlete Kathleen was a standout, sharing her tips and tricks with participants, playing rallies, and showcasing her incredible skills. Her enthusiasm and expertise inspired everyone involved.

Thank you to everyone who made this event a success! We look forward to creating more memories next year!

Table Tennis North extends our sincere gratitude to the NWT & Nunavut Lotteries for their invaluable support. Thanks to their contributions, we have been able to reach 29 communities across the Northwest Territories, bringing the joy of Table Tennis to youth in our region.

This support has empowered our young athletes to perform at their best, not only within the territories but also on national and international stages. Additionally, it has enabled us to provide essential training for our coaches, officials, and administrators, ensuring a strong foundation for the sport.

By investing in our programs, the NWT & Nunavut Lotteries are creating opportunities and possibilities for our youth to become the best version of themselves. We are incredibly grateful for their partnership and commitment to fostering growth and excellence in our communities. Thank you for believing in our mission!

On this National Girls & Women in Sports Day, Table Tennis North proudly recognizes the incredible contributions of women coaches, athletes, and officials at both the territorial and national levels. This day serves as a reminder of the importance of equity, diversity, and inclusion in sports, and we are thrilled to see the support for our ongoing initiatives in these areas.

From implementing gender pronouns to promoting greater equity, our efforts are aimed at creating a more inclusive environment for all. We celebrate the participation of women and girls, ranging from ages 8 to their 70s, who are actively involved in national events such as mentorship coach programs, national girls camps, the Arctic Winter Games, the Canada Winter Games, and the 55+ Games.

As we honor the achievements of women in sports today, we look forward to continuing our work towards greater equity and inclusion in the future. Together, we can empower the next generation of female athletes and leaders in the world of sports!
