Local Business & Employment
Introduce the people who keep your facility running and show how your operation supports students, suppliers, tourism and other businesses in the riding.
Strengthening Golf’s Voice
Golf in Your Riding is NGCOA Canada’s annual awareness and advocacy initiative, connecting members with their local Members of Parliament through hosted visits at golf facilities across Canada.
Why the Initiative Matters
Turning Golf’s National Story Into a Local Experience
National data tells an important story, but a facility visit allows an MP to see what golf means in their own riding: jobs, local suppliers, tourism, investment and community connection.
That firsthand experience builds a stronger understanding of the industry and establishes relationships that become especially important when new issues or policies affecting golf are considered by government.
