Spray Lake, one of King Township’s greatest kept secrets, has been selected to host the 2014 National Waterski Championships. Events will be taking place over the dates of August 14-17 at the beautiful lake on Keele Street.
Canadians definitely love to spend summer months outdoors and on the water. Spray Lake offers an outdoor oasis that is close to home for residents of York Region. Forget battling the Friday evening northbound traffic. Spend your weekend hitting the water right here at home, or, if you cant wait that long, drop in after work for a lesson. They offer training behind world class waterski boats and also have a state of the art wakeboard cable park. Beyond this, patrons have an opportunity to participate in a number of other activities – such as paddle boarding, beach volleyball, hiking, and more – making it easy to spend the whole afternoon.
This tournament will attract Canada’s top athletes who will compete in a series of events that are spread over the four days. Spectators are welcome, so we encourage everyone to go check out the action, free of charge. We are very proud to see an event such as this being held in the Township. It is also refreshing to see that Seneca College has been brought on as the official residence of the tournament for athletes and visitors. The key to small town tourism is to leverage partnerships such as these to stimulate economic activity from visitors.
The next two weeks will fly by as we anticipate the start of the tournament. I, for one, am certainly looking forward to spending the weekend on the lake and watching some world class waterskiing from out nations best.
