Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in Ontario. It is a combination of tennis, bad- minton and table tennis. The game is played on a badminton size court with a whiffle ball, about the size of a tennis ball; and a solid smooth surface, short handled paddle larger than a ping pong paddle. The game is easy to leam and you do not have to be a great athlete to play. Pickleball is a great way to get active, keep active, and have fun at the same time. It has great aero- bics value.

If this happens, we suggest you try the following: • Remove the tap aerators off your taps and flush the cold water house lines until it runs clear. • Flush out your hot water tanks. This is to remove the accumulated iron that precipitates out in the tank; this iron may also decrease the efficiency of your water tank. You may experience lower than normal pressure as a result of the flushing activities. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. OCWA will continue to work on the flushing programs to ensure consumer satisfaction.
