REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN

This year’s Golf Tournament takes place on Sunday July 30th at Stewart Creek Golf & Country Club. The event brings together approximately 100 avid golfers from Canmore, Banff, our regional markets and beyond to raise money for this much needed Bow Valley project.

Leading up to this wonderful day on the links, Stewart Creek Golf & Country Club’s culinary team will host an “Around the World” 5- course dinner with wine pairings on Saturday, July 29th as part of the fundraiser.

Proceeds from both the Jamie Perkins Memorial Golf Tournament and the “Around the World” culinary evening will benefit this much needed community initiative, YWCA Banff’s Higher Ground Project. The Higher Ground Project is YWCA’s plan to bring a new, purpose-built facility to Canmore with a range of services to support people in our community including women and families, to build their own thriving futures, free from violence. Higher Ground will leverage the unique expertise of YWCA Banff and other local agencies to provide relevant, long-term support and a safe space for Bow Valley residents.

The growing demand for YWCA Banff’s emergency programs throughout the pandemic has not slowed and their organization continues to pivot to address escalating needs in the Bow Valley. With the generous support of donors and funders, YWCA Banff served approximately 1,350 community members in the 2022-2023 fiscal year and provided 1,431 safe nights to clients accessing emergency sheltering programs. They responded to 671 crisis calls received through their 24-hour crisis line, of which 269 callers identified domestic violence, sexual violence, or both as the primary concern. The number of crisis calls made to YWCA Banff has more than doubled since the 2020-21 fiscal year.
