Save Cape Breton Squash

The YMCA of Cape Breton is starting renovations on May 8th to the only regulation-sized squash courts available to the residents of Cape Breton. The renovations would include renovating one court to become a spin studio and using the other court as a multi-purpose room.

Squash NS supports our squash players in Cape Breton and wishes to see squash stay alive and well with the use of both the courts. Support Cape Breton Squash by liking their Facebook page here. Also,  sign the petition now to save the courts and keep squash alive in Cape Breton!
