More than a game: Tennis is a world of opportunity for 50-plus volunteers by Krystyna Kasprzak, BA

On a muggy afternoon in Toronto last summer, I was on my way to the 2010 Rogers Cup presented by National Bank—a tournament held by Tennis Canada at the Rexall Centre each year—when the car I was traveling in became stuck in rush-hour traffic. My driver was a cheerful and energetic man in his late 50s named Len,1 and as he maneuvered the car through the near gridlock, I engaged him in casual conversation. I learned that he was a Rogers Cup volunteer—an example of vocational wellness in action.
