NS Team Bulletin #4
Hello and welcome back again to the Nova Scotia 55+ Games Society.
A very successful 55+ Provincial games were held last September 2023 in Nova Scotia’s Pictou County and as previously announced, we’re pleased to share that Bridgewater is the next host community for our NS 55+ Games to be held in 2025.
We’re also excited and very happy to share that things are moving closer for our National Games being hosted in Quebec City. Once again, welcome and greatest well wishes everyone, please stay tuned for exciting new times ahead.
Registration for the Nationals continues, but the deadline is fast approaching. If you qualify, please quickly email our Nova Scotia Team Coordinator, Cynthia Boutilier for registration forms. Also, be sure to observe updates on the National Games website and also the updates in the “Bulletins” on our Nova Scotia 55+ Games website.
Even with the absolute final registration date being June 24th, our Quebec Hosts are asking folks to register asap to assist scheduling organizers in securing facility/venue times that will be needed to accommodate growing headcount for those registering.
Since May 15th has passed, we opened registration to any Nova Scotian for any event vacancies that remain. SPREAD THE WORD to friends and family to check out the 55+ Games for a chance to play in the Nationals!
Updates for remaining opportunities to participate in the Nationals will be found on our website.
Surprisingly, at this time, there are spots still available for pickleball at various skill levels including recreational (under 3.0)!
Send an email to our Nova Scotia Team Coordinator, Cynthia Boutilier to inquire if an opening is still available and if so, to request a registration form and confirm your spot.
