Pickleball Canada Board Reorganization

There have been some recent changes to the Board of Directors for Pickleball Canada.

Wayne Roswell, VP, had to resign due to a very heavy schedule.  Wayne is the President of Pickleball Ontario and is heavily involved with that organization.  When Wayne Roswell resigned his position as VP, Colin Caldwell was appointed by the Board to fill the vacancy.

Bill Canning, the President of the Board, recently required hospitalization and though he is recovering well at home now he felt that the pressure of the position was just too much for him at this time. When Bill resigned the position of President, according to our Bylaws, was filled by the VP and once again Colin Caldwell was appointed and confirmed as President by the Board of Directors.

The remaining Board of Directors voted to appoint Bill Canning as Past President which is a voting position on the Board.  We wanted to retain Bill's expertise on the Board and we hope this will accomplish that goal.

Donna Robins, from Ontario,  also tendered her resignation stating personal reasons.

Lastly, upon recommendation from Bev Butt, we have succeeded in adding another member to the Board.  Bill Furse, from Ontario, has graciously accepted a position on the Board.

All these changes have been dramatic in nature and I am certainly keenly aware of the import and heavy responsibility that has been thrust my way.  I am confident that with the assistance of our Board and with the experience of our Past President that I will have all the help needed to move our organization forward.

The Pickleball Canada website will be updated shortly to show all the changes and committee reorganization once appointments have been made.

Thank you all for your support.
Colin Caldwell
