We are very excited to announce the addition of a brand-new asphalt surface, which will not only give us a smoother, more stable ice surface in winter but will also serve as a multipurpose outdoor court for a variety of activities. The new surface includes painted lines for pickleball, a favourite pastime for so many Rady JCC members and a new Phys Ed opportunity for Gray Academy students.

To book the outdoor court for pickleball and other outdoor activities outside school hours, please contact the Rady JCC Sports Desk at (204) 477-7535, or by email at sportsdesk@radyjcc.com. Court schedules and availability for Rady members will be posted on the Rady JCC website. You can also drop by the Sports Desk in person to sign out a court and pickleball set.

This is the friendliest gym or exercise class I have ever been to! The trainers all know my capabilities and when to push me and the atmosphere is supportive and fun. I never thought I would enjoy strength training and sweating so much.
