Golfers needed! Take on two challenges: the tough Mississaugua Golf Course and Trillium’s ‘Cardiac Challenge’!

Trillium Health Centre’s Pro-Am is a Hole-in-One!

Mississauga/West Toronto – Get on top of your game at one of the season’s classiest charitable golf events! Trillium Health Centre Foundation needs 15 more golfers to tee up with pros like Wes Heffernan and Dan Halldorson on Monday, September 8.

Enjoy a demanding course, lunch on the green, cocktails and lavish dinner in the company of Wendel Clark, Mayor Hazel McCallion and Dr. Charles Cutrara, chief of Cardiac Surgery at Trillium’s newly named Hazel McCallion Centre for Heart Health.

Scotiabank Group has generously agreed to be our lead sponsor for a 12th consecutive year.

For the $1,500 fee, players are wined, dined and feted in fabulous, first class style.
