The game of squash thrives thanks to the passionate individuals who work tirelessly behind the scenes and on the court. From local volunteers and dedicated coaches to inspiring players and supportive corporations, it’s these contributions that help grow the sport across Ontario.

In addition to our donation portal, three different programs are available whereby your participation will directly support Squash Ontario’s growth initiatives. Have a look below!

This past weekend, the 2025 Women’s Veterans Doubles Championships, Presented by Hennessy & Hinchcliffe, brought an incredible display of skill, sportsmanship, and love of the sport to Mayfair Lakeshore in Toronto. With players competing across multiple divisions—including Women’s 30+ A, B, and C, as well as 60+ and 65+—the event highlighted the strength and depth of women’s doubles squash in Ontario.

On October 28th, we were chosen as one of the community partners to receive a portion of the proceeds from the Canadian Women’s Open event held at Brookfield Place in downtown Toronto to support our female growth initiatives.

Squash Ontario is thrilled to announce our upcoming Virtual Coaches Conference, dedicated to enhancing girls' participation and retention in sport. This inspiring event will bring together coaches, experts, and organizations to share insights and strategies for creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for female athletes. As part of our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), we believe that empowering girls in sport is crucial for the future of squash.

Over 290 of Canada’s top squash players participated in the 2024 AirSprint Private Aviation Canadian Squash Championships this past weekend in Calgary, AB. Ontario players Hollie Naughton (Open) and Kathy Cowper (65+) dominated their divisions without dropping a single game along the way!

As reported by Squash Canada, the 2023 Pan American Squash Championships in Cartagena, Colombia have come to a close and Team Canada has walked away with some serious hardware, securing Canada’s spot at the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile.

This past weekend marked the first, hopefully of many, Women’s Veterans Doubles Championships aimed at supporting local charities. With a small yet mighty mix of long-time doubles players and some newbies, matches were over 2 days.

Under the Hennessy & Hinchcliffe and Slaight Music banner, a successful Ontario Women’s Veterans Doubles Championship took place at the Mayfair Lakeshore under the guidance of Tournament Organizer Lolly Gillen, with help from Diane Naughton. The wine and cheese was flowing all weekend in the court lounge thanks to Mayfair staff and Leslie Freeman and Cathy Tuckwell played dual Tournament Referee and Competitor roles.

On behalf of tournament chair Diane Naughton, title sponsor Geotab (Neil Cawse),Cedar Springs, and tournament referee Tom Nederpal, we are thrilled to announce our brand new provincial doubles champions from the 2018 Geotab Ontario Doubles Championships.
