DAWSON CREEK, B.C. — A pickleball club located in the South Peace is looking to serve up a new identity by creating a new logo.

The Dawson Creek Pickleball club identified the need for a new symbol during this week’s annual general meeting, according to vice-president Roxy Honing.

Honing stepped forward to be the vice-president following Randy Carlstad’s ascension to the top spot of club president.

“Fort St. John [Peace Country Pickleball Association] had a logo for their club and we didn’t have one for ours,” said Honing. “They were thinking that they would like to have something that was more representative to places if they were going to play here and there [such as] around the region or even in the south for competitions.

“[It] was brought up probably a year ago, but nobody really capitalized. [There was not] really much interest in moving forward with that.”

A graphic designer by trade, Honing told Energeticcity.ca she has already submitted some designs. The final decision will come at a meeting on Saturday, November 15th.

Currently, the club hosts a beginners’ night once a week, with club play for more advanced players on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Indoor play, which began in October, is held in two local schools: Ecole Frank Ross Elementary School and South Peace Campus of Dawson Creek Secondary School.

Potential club members must secure a membership through Pickleball Canada. Fees are $40 until January 2026, and $60 from January 2026 until the end of the year. 

More details about the Dawson Creek Pickleball club are available on the group’s Facebook page.
