February 2026 News & Updates

Is it just me, or has this winter felt especially long? February continues to test our cold-weather endurance with one of southern Ontario’s most wintery winters in recent memory. Hopefully you’ve been staying warm, getting some rest during the off-season, and gearing up — because 2026 is shaping up to be a big year for disc golf in our community.
