Oxford MPP Ernie Hardeman stopped by the Woodstock Badminton Club on Saturday, to check out some of the upgrades that were funded by a $40,000 Ontario Trillium Grant.

WOODSTOCK - Oxford MPP Ernie Hardeman had his first look at the newly upgraded Woodstock Badminton Club.

He stopped by on Saturday, so he could see the four courts with their restored wooden flooring. The entrances were also modified to make them more accessible.

This was all funded by a $40,000 grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Hardeman says the money was put to good use.

"This is wonderful news for our community. These funds not only help the club maintain its unique facility but allows for the ongoing enjoyment of members and visitors."

Terry Dunnigan, the Past President of the Woodstock Badminton Club, says the renovations have brought new life into the century old building.

"This grant has allowed needed renovations to be made. The life of our courts has been significantly extended and the unique wooden floors will continue to benefit the play of all members, visiting competitors, schools, and local agencies. We also want to congratulate the Ontario Trillium Foundation on 40 years of granting and building healthy and vibrant communities across the province."

The Woodstock Badminton Club is located at 310 Hunter Street.
