On Friday, July 18th, 2025 golfers took to the links at the Michipicoten Golf Club in memory of Wawa Police Chief William G. Rose and in support of local students entering their post-secondary education in the field of law enforcement or emergency services. This was our biggest tournament yet, with 171 golfers in attendance.<\/p>\n

We are proud to announce that this year\u2019s recipients are from Michipicoten High School \u2013 Brycen Roy, and from Ecole St. Joseph \u2013 Cadence Trudeau. We congratulate them and wish them all the best.<\/p>\n

After what seemed like a week of torrential downpours, the sun was shining for most of the day. Golfers were treated to the chance for 3 hole-in one prizes provided by each of the local dealerships. Mission Motors, Northern Lights Ford, and Trans Canada Chrysler stepped up with some amazing prizes for a lucky participant on 4 different holes.<\/p>\n

Golfers were treated to a delicious meal catered by Judy Page-Moore. This included a charcuterie snack on Hole #6 where the \u201cToast to Bill\u201d was set up. A special thank you goes out to Julie Heiderenko with her Pro shop\/clubhouse team, along with Aaron Huard and his Greens and grounds crew who always ensure the Michipicoten Golf Club is running in tip top shape.<\/p>\n

In addition, the amazing support received by our local businesses, volunteers, and participants make the event as big as it is.<\/p>\n

Winners of the divisions are as follows:<\/p>\n
