Golf’s Voice on Parliament Hill
Each year, leaders from across Canada’s golf industry come together in Ottawa to meet directly with federal decision-makers, strengthen relationships and ensure golf’s economic, social and environmental contributions are understood on Parliament Hill.
A Strong Industry Presence in Ottawa
Over a day and a half on Parliament Hill, representatives from across Canada’s golf industry met with MPs, Senators and senior government officials to build understanding of the industry and the issues that matter to golf course operators and their communities.
More Than a Day on the Hill
National Golf Day creates an important opportunity for golf industry leaders to engage directly with federal representatives. These conversations help decision-makers understand the scale of the industry, the businesses and people behind it, and the role golf facilities play in communities across Canada.
In 2026, discussions highlighted golf’s economic contribution, employment and tourism impact, environmental stewardship and the importance of policies that support strong, sustainable golf businesses.
Each conversation helps establish relationships that support ongoing advocacy throughout the year.
When Golf Meets With Government, We Bring the Evidence
National Golf Day demonstrates the significant contribution golf makes to Canada’s economy, workforce, communities and environment.
Building Understanding Before an Issue Reaches the Table
Effective advocacy is built on relationships. National Golf Day gives parliamentarians an opportunity to hear directly from golf industry leaders and better understand the realities of operating golf facilities across Canada.
That foundation matters when issues affecting the industry arise. Ongoing dialogue gives the golf sector an opportunity to provide practical insight, share industry data and advocate for policies that support Canadian golf businesses.
