Interview with Rosemary Goodwin

Interview with Rosemary Goodwin

Resident of Niagara-on-the-Lake since 1988, Rosemary Goodwin became president of the NOTL Tennis Club in the fall of 2007, at a time when activity and member involvement were low. Through a dedication to frequent communication with members, and a commitment to building connections among players, the club found renewed strength and vigour.  In this interview, Rosemary talks about how she was recruited as a “community champion” by Tennis Canada in 2013, working to improve facilities and grow participation on the tennis courts beyond formal clubs. 

Now in her 75th year (born 1946), Rosemary is again serving on the board of directors of the Niagara-on-the-Lake Tennis Club, and is a Sport Co-Lead for Tennis at the 2022 Canada Games.
