SICA Golf Tournament September 2023

A Sunny Success: Thank You to Our Players and Sponsors!

What a remarkable day it was! The sun was shining brightly, the fairways were in perfect condition, and the camaraderie on the course was simply fantastic. We couldn't have asked for a better day for our Fall - SICA Golf Tournament. We are immensely grateful to each one of you for making it a resounding success.

First, a heartfelt thank you goes out to our dedicated players. Your passion for the game, sportsmanship, and enthusiasm created an unforgettable atmosphere throughout the tournament. Your energy and spirit make this event so special, and we hope you enjoyed every moment of the course.

To our generous sponsors, your support is the backbone of this tournament. Your commitment to our cause and contributions to our prize pool and event have played a pivotal role in making this day possible. We truly appreciate your investment in our community and the construction industry. Many of the players commented on how our Hole Sponsors were very interactive and made the day entertaining and enjoyable.

This year part of the ticket purchase enabled SICA to provide a $710 donation to each - the Central Okanagan Food Bank and the Howard Strong Scholarship.

We would like to express our gratitude to our volunteers - Bev and Trina plus the SICA staff who worked tirelessly to ensure the event ran smoothly. Your hard work behind the scenes did not go unnoticed, and we appreciate your dedication. It was another incredible year and Sunset Ranch’s top-notch customer service makes it a very smooth process to put on this kind of large event.

SICA hosted hole #9 at our sold-out golf tournament with a “Spin to Win” trivia contest that aimed to test players' knowledge about our organization, who we are, and what we do! As the golfers enthusiastically participated in this engaging trivia game, we quickly realized that there was still much for them to discover about SICA and the significance of our services. Your involvement not only made the event more enjoyable but also highlighted the importance of continuous learning and awareness within our industry. If you are interested in learning more about Gold Seal Certification or the Gold Seal Employer Program and how it benefits your organization, please contact Leanne Hendrickson, Director of Education, leanneh@sicabc.ca.

Once again, thank you to our incredible players and sponsors for making this sunny day on the course an unforgettable experience. We look forward to seeing you all again next year for another spectacular SICA Golf Tournament. If you did not get the chance to golf or sponsor this year and wish to next year, please join our waiting list here.

Until then, may your swings stay true, and your putts find the mark!

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS

SICA training courses prove practical and meaningful to students

It’s no exaggeration to say the global economy has been paralyzed by the pandemic. Fortunately for many Canadians, the construction industry was one of the few beacons in an otherwise slow economy greatly inhibited by COVID-19. Of course, the many forms of construction activity couldn’t forge ahead frivolously – social distancing, rigorous cleaning protocols and an abundance of caution were the norm on work sites everywhere, and it’s clear these methods will continue in the months ahead.
