Winnipeg, MB – Nov. 13, 2003 - The prestigious Winnipeg Squash Racquet Club (WSRC) has installed a PlannedLegacy photomural to preserve its rich history. They are also looking into the feasibility of adding an interactive touch-screen kiosk in phase two of the project.

Until recently, the club’s memorabilia, newspaper clippings, awards, etc., were housed in a simple glass-covered bookcase, mounted to a wall under a staircase. The WSRC needed a recognition system that would more appropriately display their rich history while also honoring the achievements of their members.

"The club was founded in 1909," said WSRC General Manager Garth Merkeley. "We have a long storied history. The Who's Who of Manitoba and even Canada has belonged to this club over the years. We wanted to preserve our history while also honoring our membership.”

In collaboration with Smith Carter Architects of Winnipeg and the WSRC Heritage Committee, PlannedLegacy developed the large, three-dimensional photomural, which was installed in the main Members Lounge. If approved, phase two of the project will include an interactive touch-screen kiosk featuring a multimedia archive of the club's historical images, member biographies, media clips and more.

"The display features a historical timeline of our club,” said Merkeley. “As well as recognition for past champions, members and other great competitors from across Canada who have played here. We’re very happy with it and we have had a lot of favorable feedback from our members.”
