The 13th Annual Victoria Hospital Charity Golf Classic, held on Friday at Emma Lake Golf Course, raised $74,333.

The goal of the event is to raise funds for life-saving equipment and essential services at the Victoria Hospital, Herb Basset Home, and Pine View Terrace Care Home.

The day began with a BBQ lunch during registration and the golf tournament kicked off with a shotgun start in a Texas Scramble format. The day ended with a banquet.

Reflecting on the success of the event, Cody Barnett, CEO of the Boreal Healthcare Foundation, said, “We are deeply grateful for the incredible support from our community and sponsors.
