CTSS is a primary health care service organization with a passion for promoting the well being of individuals in the Calgary community since 2010.

This will be in the SSCA Boardroom about a 45 minute presentation followed by a question and answer period. There will be refreshments served.

A few extra things to note:

This is a fun day to get together, meet new people, socialize. No pressure. This is not a best ball. You play your own game. With that in mind, I would like to mix up the foursomes, but if you have a burning desire to play with someone, let me know and I will try to make it happen.
There will be a few proxies (eg. longest drive, closest to the pin, longest putt etc.) with prizes and a couple of door prizes. These will be handed out at Ducks on a Roof. I have spoken to John at the pub and he is aware that we are coming.
For those who finish first, kick back, have a beverage and for those finishing at the end, we will see you soon. This is an order off the menu, individual food and beverages. PS. Their steak sandwich is pretty good!
If your spouse/partner/friend wants to meet us at the pub after, feel free to invite them. We should be finished 3:30-4:00ish.
