Tournament Date: July 7 & 8, 2008

Host of CBC Vancouver’s Early Edition, Rick Cluff; British Columbia Premier, Gordon Campbell and CBC’s Chief Correspondent, Peter Mansbridge at Literacy & Beyond

The Vancouver PGI and the accompanying night-before event, Literacy & Beyond, attract more than 300 influential people from business, media and government in support of literacy. Since 1991 the two events have raised more than $800,000 for Literacy BC’s programs and services.

Hosted by Peter Mansbridge, Literacy & Beyond features tastings of some of BC’s most exceptional wines, samplings of elegant west coast fare, and a very special live auction, all in the arrestingly chic Beyond Restaurant + Lounge. Taking place the night before the PGI, Literacy and Beyond expands Peter Gzowski’s legacy of support for literacy in a fresh new way.

The Vancouver PGI is about a lot more than golf; in addition to a scramble game of golf and on-course celebrity contests, there is music, poetry, fabulous prizes, a banquet dinner hosted by Peter Mansbridge and more!
