History

1885
 As a result of a membership which had risen to 200, the club moved from Memorial Park to Ellice Avenue. Three grass courts were laid out at an expense of $300.00. It was here that the first Manitoba Tennis Championships were held. The Men's A singles title went to A. H. Dickens - a nephew of Sir Charles Dickens.
1886
 The club moved to Broadway, where it stayed for the next 12 years.
1897

The club settled on Roslyn Road with 5 grass courts. Three of these courts required resodding in 1901 due to the heavy play and harsh winter conditions.
1905
 The Winnipeg Lawn Tennis Club tore out the grass and put in "Shale".
1908
 It was decided that the club would supply free tennis balls to club members, a tradition that still holds today.
1935
 For the first time, in 1935, women became full members of the WLTC. Prior to this, membership was open to men only, although women could play during restricted hours as "tea members"
1971
 The WLTC moved to the Wildewood Club location. The courts were red on green hard courts. Membership rose from 150 members to 525 members in the first year.
1974

Lights were added to the courts and night play began. This caused another increase in membership bringing the number to 620.
1998

The Winnipeg Lawn Tennis club underwent a dramatic face lift in preparation for the Pan Am games. A new club house was built and the courts were resurfaced and expanded. The Pan Am games were a huge success and left us with a club facility that is second to none in Manitoba, and one of the finest in Canada.
1998
 In 1998 the Ladies Challenger Tournament was hosted by the WLTC. This event was an International Tennis Federation Tournament. Women from such far away countries as Japan, Israel, and Germany were there in hopes of improving their world rankings and making it to the top pro tournaments. Women ranked 200 and beyond brought with them a caliber of play that was truly incredible to watch.
1999
 The Pan Am Games come to WLTC.
2000
 In 2000 the Ladies Challenger Tournament was hosted by the WLTC, again. This event was an International Tennis Federation Tournament. Women from such far away countries as Japan, Israel, and Germany were there in hopes of improving their world rankings and making it to the top pro tournaments. Women ranked 200 and beyond brought with them a caliber of play that was truly incredible to watch.
