Monarch Park Beginner Clinic and Open House canacelled

We just received word from the staff at Monarch Park and it turns out that the facility will not be ready for use until the 12th of November. Unfortunately this means that we will have to cancel the planned clinic and open house that was planned on Sunday the 11th. We do apologies and hope to host a possible open house in the future.

Here is the email sent to us by Monarch Park:

Hello from Monarch Park Stadium,

We would like to take this opportunity to provide you with an update on the progress of Monarch Park Stadium. Our 108,000 square foot dome has been inflated. We are currently finishing the installation of the lights and will be cleaning off the track and completing a final grooming of the field by the end of the week. Regrettably, we will not be able to open Friday November 9th as we anticipated. The final inspection of the facility is scheduled for the morning of Monday November 12th. After the inspection is complete, we will open the doors for the first time on Monday evening (Nov 12th, 2012). We would like to thank all user groups for your patience and understanding over the last few weeks.

We look forward to seeing you next week!

In 2010 the Toronto Ultimate Club celebrated its 30th anniversary and hosted its inaugural Hall of Fame ceremony. Ten Toronto ultimate legends were inducted into the Hall and the ceremony was one of the greatest moments in TUC history. On October 19, 2012 at Steam Whistle Brewery, TUC will once again celebrate the heroes of Toronto Ultimate with its second Hall of Fame induction ceremony. More details on the event will follow in the upcoming months, but right now we are seeking NOMINATIONS for the TUC Hall of Fame!
