The Mackenzie Tour-PGA TOUR Canada, the Canadian Junior Golf Association and National Pines are thrilled to announce today that the Canadian Mental Health Association’s Simcoe Country Branch is the official charity partner of the upcoming Ontario Championship.

“The Ontario Championship hosted by National Pines is proud to be partnering with the Canadian Mental Health Association’s Simcoe Country Chapter as an official charitable partner,” said event director Reegan Price. “Generating a lasting impact on the communities it visits is one of the cornerstones of any Mackenzie Tour event. Part of that impact means ensuring that a portion of funds generated from tournaments contribute to local charities. Our partnership with the CMHA Simcoe County Chapter will ensure that this event continues to benefit those who live in Barrie and South Simcoe beyond the final putt.”
