Western Canada Turfgrass Association Formalizes Partnership with First Green ‘Links as Labs’ Program
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (August, 2015)
The Western Canada Turfgrass Association (WCTA), formalized its relationship with the First Green Foundation of Washington State, through a ‘Memorandum of Understanding’ signed August 24 after a successful train-the-trainer event held at the Redwoods Golf Course in Langley, BC.
With the current drought situation affecting many regions of western Canada, especially the coast and Vancouver Island, we're looking for some imagery that will help us show how turf managers are conserving water. 
Long time WCTA member Jim O’Connor, recently retired, was honoured with a life membership at the 2015 Western Canada Turfgrass Association Conference and Trade Show that took place early March at the Victoria Conference Centre in Victoria, BC. A record crowd of 192 WCTA members were on hand at the Annual General Meeting where Jim’s son, Casey O’Connor, presented the award to his deserving father and mentor.
At the 2015 Annual General Meeting held Wednesday, March 11th in Victoria, BC, an election of WCTA Officers and Directors was held. The new Board is presented below. A note from WCTA President to outgoing Directors follows.
