The City will host a
ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday, May 14 at 11 a.m.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of Uplands Golf and Ski
Club – a long history of providing year-round recreational opportunities for
residents of Vaughan and surrounding municipalities to enjoy.
On Saturday, May 14 at 11 a.m., the City of Vaughan and GolfNorth will host a
ribbon-cutting ceremony there to mark the occasion and celebrate this legacy.
The community is
invited to join Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua, Members of Council, GolfNorth and
other guests for refreshments and to take in a display of artifacts at the
Clubhouse that reflect this history.
Featuring the first
fairway irrigation system in Canada, Uplands Golf and Ski Club opened in the
summer of 1922 and was designed by Stanley Thompson. The ski hill has five
runs, two learning areas, a beginner and an intermediate terrain park, and chair
lift, and offers equipment rentals and a licensed snack bar. It property also
offers a toboggan hill, footpaths and hiking trails.
In partnership with
Uplands Golf and Ski Club, the City runs a golf summer camp for children aged seven
to 12 years old there in July and August. Details on the camp are available at vaughan.ca/camps.
Purchased
by the City in 1988, the club reflects the City’s commitment to Active, Safe
and Diverse Communities, a priority in the 2018-2022 Term of
Council Service Excellence Strategic Plan.
Uplands Golf and Ski
Club is located at 46 Uplands Ave. For more information, visit vaughan.ca/events.
