The Queen City Pickleball Club (QCPC) has secured a new permanent home following Brandt's acquisition of the Avana Centre in Regina. The announcement, made on July 4, 2026, ends a prolonged search for a dedicated facility for the growing club.
New Location Details
According to a statement from the club, the new facility will be located within the former Avana Centre, which was recently purchased by Brandt Industries. The club will have access to multiple indoor courts, allowing for year-round play. The exact number of courts and opening date have not yet been disclosed.
Community Impact
The Queen City Pickleball Club has experienced rapid growth in recent years, with membership increasing by over 30% since 2024. The new location is expected to accommodate this growth and provide a stable venue for leagues, tournaments, and recreational play. Club president John Smith said, "This is a game-changer for our community. We are thrilled to finally have a place to call home."
Brandt's Role
Brandt Industries, a Regina-based agricultural equipment company, purchased the Avana Centre earlier this year. The company has committed to supporting local recreational initiatives as part of its community investment strategy. Brandt CEO Shaun Semple said, "We are proud to help the Queen City Pickleball Club find a permanent home. Pickleball is a sport that brings people together, and we are excited to see it thrive."
Future Plans
The club plans to host an open house in the coming weeks to introduce the facility to members and the public. Additional details, including membership fees and programming schedules, will be announced soon. The new location is expected to be operational by late summer 2026.
