A national selection of Castle supplier representatives from across Canada enjoyed a fun-filled day of golf with some exciting charity challenges along the way. Over 150 vendor participants attended the event and had the opportunity to donate to a worthy cause, win great prizes and enjoy the picture-perfect day on the Club at North Halton’s award-winning course. Castle welcomed a very special guest to the event this year. NHL hockey legend Darryl Sittler and former captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs, spent the afternoon at the 9th hole greeting each team and posing for commemorative photos with the golfers. Following the tournament, players enjoyed a gourmet meal and awards presentation in the dining room overlooking the 9th hole.
