Squash NS is piloting a Para Squash 57 program at Cole Harbour Place this spring, the very first para squash program in Nova Scotia and one of the first in the country!

We are organizing two free “try-it” sessions on April 8^th and April 15^th at Cole Harbour Place – all equipment provided. For those interested in continuing, we are offering a free 4-week program April 22^nd – May 13^th for participants to develop their Squash 57 skills.

All sessions will run 7-8pm, have no cost to participate, and are open to anyone living with a physical disability.

To register to participate, volunteer, or for more information, please contact Adam at amorris@sportnovascotia.ca.

This program is supported by Community Sport for All Initiative funding from Squash Canada and the Government of Canada.

Squash Nova Scotia is welcoming nominations for the 2024 Nova Scotia Support4Sport Awards. Award winners will be celebrated at the annual Support4Sport Awards banquet hosted by Sport Nova Scotia at the Halifax Convention Centre.

Local Nova Scotia referees Lee Kirby, Thomas Hori, and Elvira Mitraka are pleased to facilitate a referee clinic on March 18, 2024, from 7-8pm at SMUfit. The aim of this course is to support and prepare participants for the online Squash Canada Club Level Referee examination. The clinic will be delivered at the introductory level but is open to all.
