Indo-Canada Chamber of Commerce's 14th Annual Charity Golf Classic was an overwhelming success with over 140 enthusiastic amateur golfers having a great time. Monday, July 23, turned out to be a perfect day for golf, and the Country Club in Woodbridge, a perfect venue.
The Chamber organises the golf tourney to support registered charities. A part of the proceeds from this year’s tourney will go to the Healthy Kids International (HKI). The institution raises funds to support international projects of the Hospital for Sick Children. Additionally, the event also generated more resources for the charity through the sale of raffle tickets and a silent auction of sports memorabilia.
The golfers – an eclectic combination of the Chamber’s long-time and new members, and guests – began arriving mid-morning. After collecting the registration gifts they were treated to sumptuous culinary delights specially prepared by the expert chefs of The Host. The tournament started around noon with a shotgun start – scramble format.

The team comprising Harry Mann, Alfie Nathoo, Peter Muto and Sheikh Tauseef won the tournament. Naval Bajaj, President, ICCC, presented them with a trophy.
Addressing the golfers at the cocktail reception, Naval emphasised that “Continuity with change is an appealing slogan and I have made it the mission of my tenure as the President of the Chamber. That is possible by doing different things and by doing the same things differently.” Naval emphasised that it is only through member engagement that the Chamber will thrive, and encouraged those present at the Golf event to participate with as much enthusiasm in the Chamber's upcoming events.
