The Squash Canada All Glass Power Court has arrived at the Bow Valley Square in Downtown Calgary in preparation for the 2021-22 Oxford Properties Canadian Open Presented by AirSprint Private Aviation. With thanks to Oxford Properties, AirSprint Private Aviation, The Bow Valley Athletic Club, the Government of Canada, Tourism Calgary, and a host of sponsors, officials, volunteers, supporters and patrons, world class squash is less then a week away!
In addition to the PSA Women’s 30k and Men’s 10k Canadian Open headlined by Calgary’s own Danielle Letourneau, the court will be used for a variety of Squash Alberta, Bow Valley Athletic Club and Calgary community events, giving access to hundreds of players new and old to our sport in this unique and exciting public venue.
Excitement is building with the court now erected in one of Calgary’s most active office tower complexes with thanks to title sponsor Oxford Properties. “Supporting this elite level of international competition provides an exceptional experience to engage our customers and allows us to showcase Bow Valley Square as a world-class property playing host to a world-class sporting event,” said David Routledge, Vice President and Head of Western Canada Office.
Presenting Sponsor AirSprint Private Aviation, a long-time supporter of squash, is thrilled to be involved as a key event partner. “AirSprint is excited to be bringing Calgarians and Albertans together to celebrate amateur sport at the highest level as well as the return of the business community to downtown Calgary in this unique and dynamic way”. exclaimed James Elian, President and CEO., AirSprint Private Aviation.
