Commemorative Renaming
On February 5, 2020, City Council approved renaming the Chinguacousy Curling Club and Tennis Centre to the Sandra Hames Centre: Curling Club and Tennis Centre in honour of former Wards 7 and 8 Councillor Sandra Hames. Sandra Hames served on Brampton City Council from 1991 to 2014. During this time, she served on many sports committees, such as the Brampton Soccer Advisory Committee, Brampton Cricket Advisory Committee, Brampton Sports Alliance, Brampton Sports Hall of Fame, Chinguacousy Figure Skating and Chinguacousy Club. She was recognized with the Marv White Award by the Chinguacousy Curling Club, which is given to a member who greatly contributes to the betterment of the club and the game of curling both on and off the ice. The Centre originally opened in 1973, with the City of Brampton taking over operations in 1976. The facility houses curling and indoor winter tennis amenities and is home to more than 30 user groups.
