The PEI PGI is a wonderful celebration for literacy with great people, local celebrities, golf, music, poetry, food and drink. After the play, golfers enjoy a delicious meal and awards celebration. The Nova Scotia PGI is held in a different region of Nova Scotia each year since 1991. Golfers include business, union and government leaders, as well as people directly involved in literacy programs who have been sponsored to play. The Newfoundland PGI raises funds for The Literacy Development Council of Newfoundland and Labrador which are disbursed to adult-based literacy projects in the province.
Golfers enjoy music, golf and a wonderful repast.
A pre-registration reception the evening before helps to create a rapport and camaraderie amongst the participants on the day of the tournament. Special guests have included local celebrity Fred Armstrong from CBC radio and Ray Turnbull, former member of the Canadian Curling team.
