Be Forever Part of the Clubhouse Restoration

At almost 100 years of age, the OTLBC Clubhouse is nearing the end of its life cycle. This $2.6 million project will transform the Clubhouse into a four-season building. Plans include: extensive improvements to the building's structure, insulation, wiring and plumbing; restoration of original building elements; and upgrades to the restaurant, member-service areas and locker rooms.

The Clubhouse Restoration is the largest project in the club’s history. The goal is to complete the project by 2023, OTLBC’s 100th year on Cameron Avenue. The first fundraising milestone is to raise $1 million by 2021. The project will set the stage for future generations to experience the moments, connections and community that define this club.

“The club holds so many wonderful family memories for me. The Ottawa Tennis Club is the last of its kind and with all the tennis club closings lately, I really hope the club can survive and thrive. My three children regularly spent the whole day there playing tennis, swimming and grabbing a snack at the restaurant.”- Janet Scanlon McDiarmid, Member, OTLBC 1962-1982
