“We want to help build the excitement in the community, and one way to do that is to hold events like this golf tournament that help bring people together, talk about the value of sport and connect the community in a different way,” said Mayor Drew Dilkens.

Events like the golf tournament are a way to hold on to the momentum that typically fades when an event like this is announced for a date so far into the future, the mayor said.

“We want to make sure that people are aware this event is happening a few years down the road,” Tourism Windsor Essex Pelee Island CEO Gordon Orr said of the golf series. “This annual reminder will do just that, raise some funds, and at the end of the day heighten the awareness of the fact this event is coming and there are a number of sports that are going to be engaged and golf is going to be one of them.”
