Catering to the professional golf and sportsturf management industry, the WCTA Board of Directors is pleased to announce the 55th Annual WCTA Conference and Trade Show will take place at the River Rock Casino Resort in Richmond, British Columbia, February 14-16, 2018.
According to the World Golf Foundation, Canada has one of the highest per capita golf participation rates in the world. Thus, it is no surprise that First Green field trips -- bringing kids to golf courses for hands-on science field trips -- would find a receptive audience in Canada.

Industry advocacy has been a prominent topic of conversation amongst most golf industry associations for some time with efforts escalating over the past 6-8 weeks or so since the Suzuki program ‘Dad and the Dandelions’ was aired by CBC.
Travis Olson, Superintendent of the Kamloops Golf Club, was named WCTA Finance Director at the first meeting of the new Board that took place on March 17th.
Conference time is much more than a gathering of turf management professionals seeking education, networking and a trade show, it’s a time of philanthropy, a chance to give back in a variety of ways. We’re humbled by the tremendous efforts on this front and are pleased to make the following post-conference fundraising announcements.
