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. The insurer had to take back their statement of no coverage and honour their existing policy. 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 [...]

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 [...]

Old: still no insurance coverage; club not opened New: online booking tool for your safety; Courts get re-surfacing Hello DMTC Members: Another update. Thank you for the many people sending info on what other clubs are doing, and for your continued patience with Don Mills Tennis Club – your club. The Board has met and discussed many matters, and has been working hard solving issues that keep coming up. I personally, seem to be spending 3-5 hours per day on club matters, whether on the phone with individual Board members, Zoom meetings or emails, researching with OTA or other club presidents. And this [...]

A small update. The bubble came down yesterday. Safely folded. Fences need putting up now. This doesn’t mean courts are ready. . We have finally received our permit from the City; however, we cannot open until all the City Guidelines are adhered to. And there are several. More to come later as the Board works through the Guidelines. For example, one problem is how to safely provide access to the washrooms. The clubhouse will be closed. As well, another new problem has developed. Our insurance policy does not cover the pandemic. Should someone catch COVID at Don Mills Tennis Club, they could [...]
