Canadian Contractor\u2019s first annual Golf Day took place on June 1, 2023 at the Royal Stouffville Golf Course. A day full of hot shots and cool drinks, contractors gathered for a day of networking with fellow industry professionals.<\/p>\n

After registration and some time to warm up on the driving range, players spent on the greens, meeting our sponsors, shooting the breeze and golf balls.<\/p>\n

We wrapped up the day with dinner, which saw the winners of Closest to the Pin, Longest Drive and the winning foursome get their hands on some impressive prizes!<\/p>\n

Our Closest to the Pin winners, Mary-Pierre Bertrand and Peter Giovonoglou, won foursome passes for a round at Royal Stouffville Golf Course.<\/p>\n

Our Longest Drive winner, Cole Friyia, took home an Apprentice Search.com swag bag.<\/p>\n

Our winning foursome, David DeFelice, Andrew Sisi, Daniel Abatecola and Chad Atkinson took home one of four Milwaukee prizes.<\/p>\n

As a part of Canadian Contractor\u2019s mission to use our platform to help better the industry, we held a raffle, with proceeds going to Construct by Blue Door \u2013 a social enterprise that helps recruit, train and employ motivated individuals to learn and work on-site with qualified trades people to prepare for a career in the construction industry. They work to meet construction needs within a framework of inclusivity, diversity and opportunity.<\/p>\n

Our first raffle winner, Danny Iannucci ,got his hands on a M12 3 plane laser level kit, generously donated by Milwaukee. Our second winner got to take home a swag bag gifted by Apprentice Search.com<\/p>\n

We raised over $500 for this charitable organization \u2013 a huge thank you to our attendees for their generosity!<\/p>\n

Thank you to our platinum sponsor, Rust-oleum. Thank you to our diamond sponsor, Apprentice Search.com. Thank you to our gold sponsor Owens Corning and our silver sponsor, Frank by Ostaco.<\/p>\n

Thank you to our hole sponsors, Ai Insurance Organization Inc., Kohler Co., Milwaukee Tool and Renoz.<\/p>\n

Thank you to Construct by Blue Door for coming out and spreading the word about your organization.<\/p>\n

And a thank you to all those who attended! We hope you enjoyed the day and can\u2019t wait to see you next year!<\/p>\n
