Two amazing athletes from the Halifax Health | Brooks Adaptive Sports and Recreation program showed incredible courage and determination at the Pictona Open by Emerge Insurance Services Pickleball tournament. One, a stroke survivor, and the other, living with Parkinson’s, competed against able-bodied players in their age group. Though they didn’t take home the win, their confidence, resilience, and passion for the sport truly made them champions on and off the court. Pictured with them is Chris Nave, employee with Brooks Rehabilitation and an instructor at Pictona.
Brooks Rehabilitation offers the most comprehensive adaptive sports and recreation program in the country, providing fun and fitness for people of all ages living with a physical disability.

Due to the federal shutdown, SNAP is only being partially funded for November - this is driving higher demand at food banks. It has been reported that lines at area food banks have tripled. Our neighbors' hunger can’t wait, and this is where we need your help for our community.
Let’s help The City of Holly Hill and Mayor Penny meet the goal of $25,000 - Donate by NOVEMBER 20TH!
Pictona’s own Rainer and Julie Martens have just stepped up with a $10,000 match! That means every $50 you give TODAY becomes $100 worth of groceries TOMORROW. Pictona will deliver a check on November 22nd to our local Food Bridge Pantry (affiliate of Second Harvest Food Bank). $25,000 equals $125,000 in food for those in need.
Donate HERE or bring a check made out to Pictona to Pictona’s Welcome Desk with “Mayor’s Challenge” on memo line.

We have a terrific lineup of tournaments for you in 2025-26.
Go here to see our lineup. Tournaments provide you with an opportunity to
test yourself, play with different opponents, and learn from watching other
players in action. And for Pictona, they are a significant source of revenue that
helps keep our membership rates among the lowest in the nation. And a major
reason we make money from our tournaments is because of the many members
who volunteer to help conduct these events. We thank you.
Please Note: The Club Invitational Cup, scheduled for November 22-23,
has been postponed for a future date.
