Yesterday, representatives from the National Allied Golf Associations (NAGA) gathered on Parliament Hill with Members of Parliament and Senators to celebrate National Golf Day.

Canada’s golf industry generates more than $23B in economic impact, supports 239,000 jobs, and stewards 250,000 acres of protected green space across 2,100 facilities.

With more than 6 million Canadians playing the game, golf continues to be the country’s leading participation sport. We look forward to continued collaboration with federal leaders to support sustainable growth and economic opportunity.
