RICHMOND, BC – April 25, 2014 On the heels of the partnership forged with the Vancouver Canucks and the Vancouver Canuck Centre for BC Hockey, the PGA of BC is proud to announce that Odlum Brown Limited has signed on as Presenting Sponsor of the inaugural Canucks Junior Golf Week, which runs from July 2 to 9 at more than 50 golf courses across British Columbia.
Canucks Junior Golf Week will provide an avenue for these future junior golfers-to-be a chance to pick up a golf club for the very first time in a team setting. This platform also serves as a great chance for new golfers to gain familiarity with golf facilities in their respective communities and their established junior programs.
“Odlum Brown Limited is proud to partner with the PGA of BC as Presenting Sponsor of the inaugural Canucks Junior Golf Week,” said Debra Hewson, President & CEO of Odlum Brown Limited. “Supporting children and sports in our communities are very important to us. This partnership is a wonderful opportunity to encourage children provincially to be active and engaged in sport, while learning life skills such as sportsmanship and respect in a safe, fun environment.”
“We are thrilled about this new partnership,” said Grant Gray, Sales Manager of the PGA of BC. “This is one of the biggest initiatives we have worked on, growing the game of golf. This program allows facilities to choose one day during the week of July 2nd - 9th where they would host elementary golf camps. We encourage these one-day camps to cover the basics of the fundamentals of golf. All proceeds go directly to the golf facility to compensate facility fees and the Instructor's time. We are very excited to have Odlum Brown Limited as Presenting Sponsor of Canucks Junior Golf Week.”
