(Fort McMurray, AB - July 30, 2019) On Monday, September 9, 2019, the Athabasca Tribal Council Golf Classic will be held at the Miskanaw Golf Club in conjunction with the annual Oil Sands Trade Show.

This partnership between ATC and EventWorx will provide an exciting opportunity to raise funds for ATC’s Post-Secondary Student Support Program.

“These funds will provide needed financial support to ATC students,” says Athabasca Tribal Council Chief Allan Adam. “This will enable them to gain access to post-secondary education, and to graduate with skills needed to pursue their dreams and individual careers.”

Registration is $295 + GST for individuals, and $1,180 + GST for a team of four. Fees include 18 holes of golf at the gorgeous Miskanaw Golf Club, power cart, on-the-course BBQ lunch, banquet dinner, and lots of great prizes!

“We are very pleased to work with the Athabasca Tribal Council to form a new partnership through the creation of the Athabasca Tribal Council Golf Classic,” Wes Scott, President and CEO of EventWorx Corporation says. “This is an investment in community, and will provide much-needed scholarship funding to support Indigenous youth in earning their post-secondary education.”
