our history
In the summer of 1881 a group of prominent Winnipeg gentlemen and their ladies met together to formally enjoy each others company and the new sport of Lawn Tennis. The location of this first summer’s activity is unknown, but the first organized Tennis in the Province of Manitoba (admitted as a Province into the Dominion of Canada only 8 short years earlier) was obviously successful since the following spring the Winnipeg Lawn Tennis Club was formally established.
