JACK PERKINS
Jack Perkins, a keen tennis player and a familiar face at the Don Mills Tennis Club, passed away peacefully on Friday, June 12. Jack was a pillar of the club for over 30 years. It was a joy to be his partner and friend. His backhand cross court won him many points as he placed the ball out of reach of the opponents. He was a familiar face at Kaffeeklatsch, whether at the desk or on the courts. He was a regular at club socials. In the past, he did his share of voluntary work at the club by taking [...]

Hello Don Mills Tennis Club Members: Club Will Open! I have happy news! We had an insurance win this weekend, which allows us to operate the club now.

So, this means we can open - but we still have to repair a sinkhole on the drive and get the courts resurfaced this week as was planned... we have an opening date, likely July 1st. (If the courts get done before that, then we will set the nets up and open as soon as possible so [...]
Club Status – June 7th
Hello Don Mills Tennis Club Members: I regret to inform you that the Don Mills Tennis Club Executive Board has decided not to operate the club this year, and to revoke the request for the City's Parks, Forestry and Recreation (PFR) permit under which it normally operates. There are numerous reasons. The main one is the absence of liability insurance coverage as discussed before. Two weeks of work later with officials, both the regular insurer nor the City have budged in indemnifying the club in case of a Covid suit, and even if there are 10 waivers signed by members, the [...]
