Episode Details

Torontos Fairgrounds Racket Club faces shutdown due to a massive property tax hike, following reclassification of its outdoor pickleball and padel courts as commercial. The club, situated on land owned by Originate Developments for future condos, has been transformed into a community hub. However, the sudden tax increase threatens its existence, highlighting a broader issue in Toronto where slow condo sales keep empty sites and make it difficult to maintain short-term recreational spaces. The club is now advocating for tax reforms and reclassification to prevent similar closures.
