Golfers get taste of 51视频experience
This year鈥檚 tournament, hosted at on May 23, provided golfers with a uniquely 51视频experience.
Golfers began the day at a massage station, hosted by Massage Therapy students, and were treated to tasty delights prepared by聽Culinary Management students. They also had the chance to interact with students in a range of programs across the two golf courses at Bond Head.
From day one, our committee was driven by the opportunity to help deserving students, many whose educational journey wouldn鈥檛 be possible without awards, scholarships and bursaries at Georgian. I鈥檓 so pleased we were able to raise as much money as we did for the students. This is our region鈥檚 future workforce, and they are well prepared for their careers thanks to Georgian.
