Indo-Canada Chamber of Commerce's (ICCC) 16th Annual Golf Classic was an overwhelming success with over 140 enthusiastic amateur golfers having a great time. Tuesday, July 29, 2014 turned out to be a perfect day for golf, and the Wooden Sticks, at Uxbridge ON, a perfect venue. It was a comparatively cool day but participants had a great time.

In the past, ICCC’s golf tourneys have supported registered charities. However, this year's tournament revenue would be utilized for ICCC’s newly acquired headquarters at 924, The East Mall in Toronto.
The golfers – an eclectic combination of the Chamber’s long-time and new members, and guests – began arriving early-morning. The tournament started at 11:00 am with a shotgun start – scramble format.

Addressing golfers at the cocktail reception, in the presence of colleagues, past presidents, golf committee members, Dharma P Jain, ICCC’s newly elected President, said the long standing dream of the ICCC for having its own headquarter has been fulfilled and the golf revenues would be utilized for the Chamber’s new headquarters.
Giving information about the new 6,000 square feet headquarters, the ICCC President said the building will have 2,000 square feet area exclusively dedicated for events. In addition to serving as the headquarters of the 37-year-old institution, the building would also house a Centre for Excellence for Small Business. The proposed centre would encourage entrepreneurship and provide key inputs to Canadians of Indian origin wishing to launch their new ventures. “The centre will also provide information, coaching, hand-holding on all vital aspects of business,” he said.
