Saanich Peninsula Pickleball Association amalgamates under VRPA umbrella

February 21, 2025

Saanich Peninsula Pickleball Association (SPPA) has amalgamated under the Victoria Regional Pickleball Association (VRPA) umbrella, following unanimous approval of the Special Resolution at the VRPA Annual General Meeting on February 19, 2025.

VRPA vice president, Tessa Graham, spoke to the resolution at the meeting, as well as SPPA vice president, Andy Magee. Both speakers outlined the positive aspects of a unified body of players on the Lower Island, translating to a larger overall voice for pickleball on Vancouver Island. Additionally, benefits of the amalgamation were presented:

– Clearly defined political weight;
– Access to clinics;
– Lessons that would be beneficial to SPPA members.

The resolution required a 2/3 approval.

“One sport. One voice,” said VRPA president Connie McCann. “Strength in numbers is how I view this amalgamation. My experience has taught me that the 13 local governments in our region respect a sport that is large in membership, and is unified in its support for their sport.”

Special Resolution

“Be it resolved that the Victoria Regional Pickleball Association (VRPA) does hereby agree to amalgamate with the Saanich Peninsula Pickleball Association (SPPA). It is agreed that the amalgamated society will retain the name, constitution and bylaws of the VRPA. Upon amalgamation, the VRPA agrees to add at least one member of the SPPA Executive to its Board of Directors. Upon amalgamation, the VRPA agrees that on a best efforts basis, monies transferred from SPPA to VRPA through the amalgamation will be used to benefit the former SPPA membership.”
