Our commitment: Improving access to tennis for the entire community

What do you need to play tennis at any age, regardless of skill level? A ball, a racquet... and a court in good condition.   

In partnership with Tennis Canada, we launched the National Bank Play Your Court grant program that will help many communities revitalize their outdoor public tennis courts. The initiative provides $3 million to restore more than 100 courts across Canada by 2030. This is our tangible commitment to making tennis more accessible to the entire community. 

How to get a grant 

Looking to upgrade your community tennis court? Municipalities interested can fill out the application form on the Tennis Canada website.
