When the PGA TOUR Americas comes to our stunning Mactaquac Provincial Park golf course in July, it will not only be an opportunity to raise the profile of our beautiful province and enjoy some terrific golf, but the tournament will also support military families facing difficult times.
Tonight I was so happy to be able to announce that Soldier On is the official charity selected to benefit from the 2024 Omnium Explore NB Open.
With Mactaquac being located close to a military base, it is only fitting that we are able to support a program like Soldier On, a special program of the Canadian Armed Forces Transition Group (CAFTG), that contributes to the recovery of ill and injured members and veterans by providing opportunities and resources through sport, recreational, and creative activities.
With today’s announcement, we are keeping the momentum going as we continue to plan the tournament and seek more sponsors and volunteers. If you are interested let me know and I can get you in touch with my department of Tourism, Heritage and Culture.
Many hands make light work as they say – and we are hoping to onboard as many helping hands as we can to ensure the success of this event.
Let’s show everyone on the PGA TOUR Americas what we are made of! This is going to be a very exciting summer of golf in New Brunswick.
Thank you Premier Blaine Higgs, MLA Richard Ames, and MLA Mary Wilson (minister responsible for military affairs) for joining me tonight.
I also enjoyed catching up with Trevor McClelland of Commercial Tent Rentals & Sales Limited in Sussex. I love to see our local business and its excellent crew and gorgeous tents be part of this incredible PGA event. #explorenb
