A group of Mayne Island tennis players who were forced to share the local courts with pickleballers were not 'oppressed,' a B.C. judge ruled while refusing to grant them exclusive use of the space.

The head of the Victoria Regional Pickleball Association holds a ball and paddle in an April 2022 file image.

The dispute eventually landed in B.C. Supreme Court, with tennis players hoping to assert authority over the courts at the Mayne Island Community Centre – but ultimately missing their shot. The MICCS subsequently decided to allow equal time for both sports, with pickleball players and tennis players each getting 21 hours per week on the two courts.

Basran acknowledged the tennis group played a key role in fundraising for the courts and getting them built, but didn't buy that the community centre ever intended to fully cede authority to the MITA.
