If the district does not reopen the Wain Park courts, the group says it will file a court petition for a judicial review of the council motion that closed the courts
A group of pickleball players is demanding that North Saanich council reverse its decision to close the district’s popular outdoor pickleball courts, saying councillors did not follow proper procedures.
The group would present its argument that the decision was inappropriate and unlawful to a judge, who would make a determination, said Brian Harrigan, a pickleball player who is part of the ad hoc group. An item must be added to the agenda through a previous notice of motion or added as a late item, he said.
The Saanich Pickleball Association and the Victoria Regional Pickleball Association plan to make a public presentation at the council meeting on Monday to present findings from sound-mitigation testing at courts in Carnarvon Park in Oak Bay in May.
