18th Annual Warriors of Hope Golf Tournament

Wow! September 9th was a great day out on Osprey Links for the Warriors 18th Annual Golf tournament. We had perfect weather; the course was in perfect condition, and the crowd had a perfect time – if the laughter and number of people who said they’d be back next year was any indication.

Thank you to all our golfers who supported the team through their attendance and by buying 50/50 tickets and Mulligans. There were many familiar faces in the crowd and a bunch of new faces too; we were thrilled to see all of you and are so very grateful for your support. Special thanks to the generosity of two of our winners – Rob McDonald and Tom Sullivan – for donating back their winnings and to Jim and Hilary Vandrunen, who joined the tournament for the first time from out of town and made a generous donation at the end of the day.

The Golf Committee would also like to give a big thank you to Jeff and his whole team at Osprey Links. Once again, they did an excellent job hosting our group. We also want to thank all our hole sponsors whose signs you saw around the greens. Please check out their names in the pictures and please, thank them by patronizing their businesses. We cannot forget our main sponsors, Country 90.5 FM CFCH, whose advertising and financial support these last few years has made a tremendous difference in our success. Even though Kevin Oschesfki was unable to play in the tournament this year, we were thrilled he stopped by in the morning to say hello – wearing a very cool pair of pink pants I must say.

Thank you again and we hope to see everyone back for our 19th Annual tournament which will take place on Saturday, September 7, 2024.

2022 Share the Wealth Award

Sandra Perreault, Team Captain Janet Benoit’s daughter, presented the Warriors with a cheque for $12,000 as recipients of 2022 Share the Wealth Award from the ScotiaMcLeod Charitable Foundation at the annual dinner on December 6th.

This program has been established to recognize community impact, and encourage deeper and lasting contributions to strengthen our communities. On an annual basis, our Share the Wealth Awards recognize the community engagement of ScotiaMcLeod employees.

The Share the Wealth Awards Committee comprised of previous year’s award recipients reviews all employee applications and presents Share the Wealth Awards in honour of employees who exhibit leadership and make a significant impact through volunteerism. A financial contribution is made on behalf of each Share the Wealth Award recipient to a registered charity they personally support.

Thanks very much Sandra for making this great award possible!
