Hello, I am trying to collect signatures for a new outdoor basketball court in Calgary that consists of two courts and is protected from the wind, as we are a windy city. There are many cities where sports are promoted and it is a shame that Calgary is not one of them, we are a very big city and also it is known that many people lack the daily recommended exercise that they should be getting. I believe that promoting more sports in this city will help change this over a period of time. The city of Calgary is lacking in the activities provided to its citizens including my focus, which is basketball. All of the existing courts are pretty much all run down, with broken and crooked rims, broken backboards, uneven pavement and the list goes on. I think a higher quality venue for this great sport would be a great way to attract youth and people of all ages and to promote more of a sports culture in a city that is not known for this. Thank you for reading this and I pray that everyone will support such a great cause.
The courts remain in terrible shape despite our growing movement. I am currently reaching out to local representatives to discuss the necessity of this project.

Fix the hoops or build new ones, it's embarrassing how bad they are right now.

Yes please!! Calgary is freezing and windy, a court with some protection would actually get used all year round. My kids have nowhere to go after school.

About time. Every court near me is unplayable. The pavement is cracked and the rims are always bent. We deserve better facilities than this.
